Course content
It is possible to consider organs such as the lungs, kidneys, and liver as miniature chemical factories. Therefore, it is only natural that chemical engineering is given considerable attention in designing artificial organs to carry out the functions of human organs. However, as the application of such research is the living body which is a complex system, a particular kind of methodology is necessary.
In this course, students will deepen their understanding of both chemical engineering and the living body by designing artificial organs (artificial lungs, artificial kidneys etc.).
Purpose of class
Thorough understanding of chemical engineering for biomedicals
Goals and objectives
  1. Understanding philosophy of Chemical Engineering through transport phenomena in living or artificial organs.
  2. Understanding philosophy of Chemical Engineering through transport phenomena in living or artificial organs.
  3. Understanding philosophy of Chemical Engineering through transport phenomena in living or artificial organs.
