Heat and Mass Transfer in Biological Engineering

Course Description

Course information provided by the 2019-2020 Catalog.

Focuses on understanding the principles of heat and mass transfer in the context of biological (biomedical/bioprocessing/bioenvironmental) systems. Emphasizes physical understanding of transport processes with application examples from plant, animal and human biology, the bioenvironment (soil/water/air), and industrial processing of food and biomaterials.  Development of problem solving abilities is emphasized using active learning techniques.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite or corequisite: MATH 2930 and fluid mechanics course.

Outcomes

• Students will apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering to define and solve problems in heat and mass transfer in biological engineering.
• Students will improve their ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.
• Students will improve their capacity to integrate modern biology with engineering principles.

When Offered Fall, Summer.
