KaGibb’s free energy can be used to calculate enthalpy: ∆S = - ∆H - ∆G TIII. Kinetics & Reactor DesignThe chemical engineering course most easily modified to incorporate biotechnology is kinetics.At the present time, kinetics courses and textbooks include the topic of enzyme reactions2.Moreover, the same reactor design fundamentals taught in kinetics courses are key to theoperation of bioreactors in which the desired products are synthesized by living cells.Frequently, bacteria are used for easy, cost-effective synthesis of biological molecules.Students must be aware that in industry the goal is to minimize cost of production. Forbiological molecules, cost is cut most effectively by producing the desired products in

In the teaching area, therelationships developed with industry can bear fruit in instruction, lab development, andcurriculum development. Research and scholarly publishing are often a natural product ofinternship activities. Finally, service to the university in various outreach activities also results.Bibliography[1] Clark, S.

through the active exercises of a small discussion group, itshould be expected that each group will arrive at different conclusions, and that some willconclude that teaching philosophies and active learning are not necessary. But the goal is toobtain end-of-course objectives. If this goal is obtained, then indeed the exercise was successful.The authors’ hypothesis (and experience) is simply that the objective is more readily obtainedthrough the practice of a sound teaching philosophy that encourages active (collaborative)learning.III.

A common body of knowledge that is founded intheoretical ecology and engineering design, wedded with clearly defined professionalcodes ethics and standards of practice, will provide substantive footing for this new andexciting profession. Ecological engineering may become the single greatest tooldeveloped by the human species, or it may become advanced horticulture. The outcomeis dependent on the vision of its practitioners.ReferencesBergen, S. D., S. M. Bolton, and J. L Fridley (1997). Ecological Engineering: Design based on Ecological Principles
