ENGINEERING BIOTECHNOLOGY This program area is to develop an integrated approach to teaching Biotechnology and Bioengineering material to upper division students. It involves two major thrusts. One is in the area of development and manufacture of biotechnology products and the second area is in Biomedical and Health Care Engineering:

There are 5 projects in this section. 1. Bioengineering Instrumentation 2. Biomedical and Health Care Engineering 3. Engineering Biotechnology (Multimedia Course Modules) 4. FDA Regulations on Manufacturing 5. Genetic Engineering Lab. 1. Bioengineering Instrumentation Contact Name: Ron Adrezin Organization: The Cooper Union The purpose of each presentation is to provide the user with simple, motivational, professional, and indepth technical information on each of the three fields of study.

Engineering Biotechnology (Multimedia Course Modules) Contact Name: Raj Mutharasan Organization: Drexel University This site contains multimedia packages from a CD that describe the emerging area of Engineering Biotechnology: Molecular Biology, Manufacturing, Drug Delivery, Biosensors & FDA Regulations. The materials are used in an upper division and is undergraduate course and is made available as a self contained teaching module. These topics are integrated through the theme of Insulin, the first recombinant bio-pharmaceutical to reach the public. The multimedia packages are desigined to be self-contained teaching modules. The FDA Regulations section is included as a WWW document. The file is zipped. Download the file and unzip the EngineeringBiotechnology.zip and run the Enggbiot.exe file The CD is a product of the Department of Chemical Engineering,Drexel University.

FDA Regulations on Manufacturing Organization: Drexel University This comprises a two week section of a course in Engineering Biotechnology and Biomedical and Health Care. Our goal is to introduce students to some of the regulatory and other issues that are important in the development of medical technology. The intended audience consists of bioengineering and biotechnology students, and other students interested in the development of biomedical technology. Our goal is to present a broad overview of the regulatory process and several important considerations related to human and animal experimentation. They are not definitive. The preparation of a successful premarket approval application for a drug or medical device is a complicated process with many pitfalls, and requires expert advice. The modules are intended to form the basis of two weeks of instruction in an undergraduate Bioengineering course. Click Here To Visit Web Page [Back to Index/Top] 5. Genetic Engineering Lab.
