Entrance Requirements -
Learning Outcomes and Competencies Technical skills:
The students
  • independently combine process engineering and information technology processes of materials management procedures and can systematically interpret and describe them.
  • know which supply media are necessary for the operation of a laboratory/technical center and have an understanding of the equipment used and the associated data streams.
  • know the basic operations of mechanical process engineering, as well as modes of operation and balance equations, and master these for the basic operations of bioreactors (mixing, combining, separating).
  • know control protocols for sensor-actuator systems for process engineering and can determine them using process planning.
  • understand the interaction of equipment and information systems in the operation of a laboratory/technical center.
  • know what criteria are used to design and scale-up a bioreactor and can determine and evaluate the most important ones themselves. (kLa, mixing time, energy input).
  • can identify characteristic values and events for the control of bioreactors with the help of process engineering and information technology process models and determine the plant control.
Transferable skills:
The students
  • work out complex topics independently.
  • can differentiate and integrate different perspectives of the same problem.
