Bioprocess Plant Design (ERE 503/3 credits)
This course provides a broad overview of coordinating and balancing the upstream and downstream process systems to balance the cycle times through appropriate selection of a variety of Process Equipment and Process Support functions. Using the various functions needed in a typical Biologics Manufacturing Plant, general concepts of facility design will be developed. Emphasis on specifics to Biologics like GMPs, Automation and Validation, Clean-Dirty Concepts, and, People and Product Flow and Protection will be addressed. Instructors

Bioseparations (ERE 502/3 credits)
Lectures, conferences, discussions and laboratory. Topics in environmental and resource engineering not covered in established courses. Topics covered include: cell disruption, centrifugation, chromatographic techniques (gel filtration, affinity, ion exchange), and membrane processes (micro and ultrafiltration, dialysis, reverse osmosis). Crystallization, drying, and a brief discussion of packaging. In addition, preparing water for injection (WFI), viral clearance and aseptic preparation of biologics. Instructors

Microbiology for Bioprocessing (ERE 501/3 credits)
Lectures, conferences, discussions and laboratory. Topics in environmental and resource engineering not covered in established courses. An overview of microbiology, biochemistry, enzyme technology, metabolic pathways and microbial growth kinetics. Discussion of mammalian cell lines, medium formulations and bioreactor design, including batch, fed-batch and continuous. Instructors

Process Engineering (ERE 542/ 3 credits)
Lectures, conferences, discussions, and laboratory. Topics in environmental and resource engineering not covered in established courses. An economic analysis of bioprocesses, including equipment, installation and operating cost estimates, and methods for estimating return on investment. Bioprocess flow sheet synthesis, operability, and process simulation will be provided. Optimization techniques will be discussed. Preparation for a bioprocess design project. Instructors

Professional Experience/Synthesis (ERE 898/3 credits)
A supervised, documented professional work experience in the Master of Professional Studies degree program. Relevant professional practices in areas such as bioethics, FDA and other regulatory aspects of biotechnology, communications, business writing. A capstone project in Bioprocessing provides a synthesis experience for this curriculum. Instructors
