The aim of this course is to introduce engineers to biology in a general way by providing a framework for understanding life at the cellular and molecular levels, and to introduce you to microorganisms and their central role in chemical and process engineering. The course is especially designed for Engineers. An understanding of basic chemistry is assumed, but if at any stage you feel that you do not understand the basics of biology and chemistry, then seek help from the course lecturers as soon as possible.
