Biomfg Process Sciences

Builds upon the scientific knowledge underlying chemical engineering principles to design, develop, and optimize key parameters in a biomanufacturing process. Includes the optimization of media composition, fermenter and bioreactor design, the design of downstream processes, instrumentation, engineering systems, and process control systems in process development to maximize the yield and integrity of a protein pharmaceutical. Field trips may be required. Prerequisites: Introductory Statistics (MATH M15 or MATH M15H) or equivalent or placement as determined by the college's multiple measures assessment process, BIOL M02A or BIOL M02AH, BIOT M10 or BIOL M13, BIOT M02C or BIOL M12C, and BIOT M02D or BIOL M12D. Transfer credit: CSU.
