Entrance Requirements
Introduction to Biotechnology, Industrial Systems 1 and 2, participation in Bioprocess Engineering 1
Learning Outcomes and Competencies
Through the practicals, students will enhance their knowledge of working practices in process engineering and the most important basic operations of mechanical and thermal process engineering, as well as application thereof in biotechnology through calculation and design exercises and by means of practical work.
In the practical course, through calculation and design exercises as well as by means of practical tasks. students deepen their knowledge of process engineering working methods and the most important basic operations of mechanical and thermal process engineering and their applications in biotechnology.
Module Content
The practicals include 4 blocks (below), the statistical design of experiments, the procedural design of a bioreactor system as well as mechanical and thermal reprocessing processes.

Assessment
Written assignment 100%
An exam must be passed before each practical. A protocol must be drawn up for each test and group.
Should a student fail this test, or fail to comply with the work and safety regulations, this will result in them not being allowed to continue with the practicals. In of the event of such an exclusion from the practicals, or any unexcused absences, a technical paper on the topic of the practicals (approx. 10 pages) must be written instead, which is then graded (Grade must be ≥ 4).
Language of Instruction
German
Comments
The module Bioprocess Engineering practical (PrBVT) and the modul Bioprocess Engineering 1 (BVT1) have to be visited in the same semester.
The Bioprocess Engineering practical module is part of the module group Practicals 3
