Program Information
Bioprocessing technologies are used in a variety of industries ranging from renewable fuels, food and drink products, pharma- and nutraceuticals, and environmental remediation of wastes. The certificate in Bioprocessing Sciences will combine courses from several disciplines to enhance the student’s knowledge of these technologies and provide hands-on experiences with their applications, thus helping to prepare students for career opportunities in the bioprocessing industries.
Student Learning Outcomes
Students completing the Bioprocessing Sciences certificate will be able to:
- Understand how cells or cellular components of biomaterials can be grown to produce commercial quantities of desired raw products (upstream bioprocessing).
- Understand and use biomass separation techniques to extract desired product from cell debris (downstream bioprocessing).
- Apply bioprocessing principles (e.g., fermentation, heat, mass, and energy transfer) to manufacturing of renewable energy and commercial bioproducts or to management of environmental waste.
- Apply principles of quality control, operations efficiency, project management, and safety to manufacturing of bio-based products.
Course Delivery Format
Coursework is delivered in a face-to-face learning environment with hands-on class laboratory experiences.
