Abstract

The chemical engineering curriculum at Rowan University has been revised to include a biological systems & applications course. The integration of biology to chemical engineering curriculum is aimed to introduce students to a variety of biological principles that are relevant to chemical engineering. The main biological concepts include are food microbiology laboratory exercise, bioprocess engineering, bioseparations and metabolic engineering. The implementation and impact of these modifications in the engineering curriculum is also discussed.
