Pharmaceutical Manufacturing into the Chemical Engineering CurriculumAbstractOver the past several years we have explored ways to incorporate concepts of pharmaceuticalengineering within the chemical engineering curriculum. Our initial efforts in this area have beendirected towards the integration of these concepts in freshman and sophomore level courses. Thisprovides an experience that reinforces core educational objectives and increases student interestin the pharmaceutical field. This paper is a continuation of our educational methodsdevelopment, and will describe several pharmaceutical and consumer product educationalmodules. These modules include both laboratory and course-related activities for both lower andupper-level

The Biodesign course covered the theory of DTthrough class lectures about the DT elements and then applications of DT in the weekly laboratory section.
