Abstract Preparing chemical engineering students for careers in emerging technologies, such
as bioengineering and pharmaceutical engineering, is essential in today’s competitive
market. To meet the industry (and student) demand for training in bio-focused
engineering, many schools offer specialized curricula that concentrate on the interface
between biology and engineering, or offer elective courses at the senior or graduate level.
However, integration of biology and chemical engineering at the lower levels and in core
courses is often difficult in curricula that are already filled to capacity.
The chemical engineering curriculum at Rowan University has been revised to
include a Biological Systems & Applications course designed to introduce students to a
variety of biological principles that are relevant to chemical engineering. Additionally,
