so they can stand alone withonly minor modifications.The direct benefits of providing challenging integrated bioprocess engineering modules are thecritical thinking skills the students will develop for use throughout their careers. Successfulgraduates of a general engineering program, with concentrated studies on bioprocessengineering, will need to extend themselves and apply the fundamental concepts of engineeringand mathematics they learn to a variety of conditions and situations. They will most likely be thecohesive component in a project requiring a multifaceted approach for successful completion.The more the students are engaged, as occurs with this proposed approach, the better the subjectmatter will be retained and applied.
