Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

This lecture is aimed at providing students the  knowledge required to apply chemical engineering concepts to the field of biotechnologies.
Each professor is responsible for a part of the course :
Part 1 : biotechnologie microbienne (F. Delvigne) 
Part 2 : génie des réacteurs biologiques (D. Toye)
Part 3 : biorefining (A Richel)
 
 

   

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

At the end of the course, the student will be able to understand industrial biotechnological processes and assess the associated issues.
He/she will be able to propose solutions on the basis of his/her knowledge in chemical engineering.
 

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

1st Master in engineering (orientation chemical engineering and material science) or chemical sciences

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Part 1 : 4 x half-day course given by F. Delvigne
Volet 2 : 3 x half-day course given by D. Toye
Volet 3 : 3 x half-day course given by A. Richel
Visits to industrial companies and/or research labs will organised in relation to the 1st and the 3rd part.

Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
