Bioprocess Engineering (BE)
Course Code: B1188
Bioprocess Engineering is the application of chemical engineering principles to biological processes. Whilst sharing foundations of a traditional chemical engineering degree it takes the next step and implements biotechnologies. This innovative specialisation of chemical engineering sees its relevance to the food and beverage industry, petrochemical industry, synthesis of biofuels, waste treatment, pollution control systems, metallurgical processing and the pharmaceutical industry. Students who are not only interested in biology and chemistry, but also their industrial applications should consider Bioprocess Engineering.
