Syllabus Information
ABE 20100 - Thermodynamics In Biological Systems I
Associated Term: Fall 2015
Learning Outcomes: 1. Analyze problems and use a systematic approach to problem solving in the engineering of biological systems. 2. Develop mass balances for systems with and without biochemical reactions for in vivo and in vitro biological systems. 3. Characterize the properties of solids, liquids, and gases common to biological systems. 4. Estimate gas/vapor properties using gas laws. 5. Understanding the relationships between pressure, partial pressure, and humidity. 6. Apply the basic thermodynamic concepts to quantify phase and chemical equilibrium parameters for food and biological systems. 7. Use models to predict the physical behavior of materials at equilibrium in multi-component, multi-phase systems. 8. Use computational software to solve problems in biological systems. 9. Students will be able to apply science and math skills to develop a new product and the processes required to transform the input materials into the final product. 10. Students will be able to apply engineering fundamentals and analytical skills, specifically mass and energy balances and thermodynamics, to product and process development projects. 11. Students will be able to communicate technical information, oral and written. 12. Students will develop leadership and teamwork skills through personal awareness and reflection, and team experiences. 13. Students will develop an innovative and a strong work ethic through new product development. 14. Students will have increased awareness of ethical responsibility through evaluating case studies and classroom discussion. 15. Students will be more curious and persistent learners through self-directed team projects.
