Bioprocess and Fine Chemicals 5th year specialization curriculumCombine biological, chemical and process expertises for the fine chemistry and bioprocesses
The engineers are trained to design and develop new cleaner and safer processes or operate any type of chemical or biotechnological industrial process:
- acquire or improve skills in the fields of biotechnology, synthetic chemistry and processes;
- strengthen fundamental knowledge in these 3 areas while expanding the scientific culture and tools necessary to their integration into a multidisciplinary team.
Prerequisites
Knowledge of:
- Organic chemistry,
- Process Engineering Basics,
- Life science.
Skills
- Develop or improve chemistry synthesis process.
- Develop or improve bioprocesses.
- Design and dimension processes.
- Pilot chemical processes or bioprocesses.
- Concept or Develop new products or new process.
- Manage a project.
- Work in a multidisciplinary team.
Teachings
220 hours including courses, tutorial work, pratical work, case studies and seminars, to which are added a 157 h project and the third year common core.
