BEE 4600

Deterministic and Stochastic Modeling in Biological Engineering

Course Description

Course information provided by the 2018-2019 Catalog.

Covers modeling biological systems from an engineering standpoint. Starting with deterministic approaches, the course functionally decomposes and mathematically models systems important to biological engineers (including bioprocessing, biomedicine, and microbial ecology). Mechanistic aspects of biology are handled using stochastic (probabilistic) approaches in the second half of the semester.

Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: MATH 2930, MATH 2940, BEE 3500 or equivalent, MATLAB, Mass and Energy Balances, or permission of instructor.

Outcomes

• An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.
• An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs.
• An ability to integrate modern biology with engineering principles.
