Yang, Allen H. J.; Dimiduk, Kathryn; Daniel, Susan – Chemical Engineering Education, 2011
We present a simplified human alcohol metabolism model for a mass balance team project. Students explore aspects of engineering in biotechnology: designing/modeling biological systems, testing the design/model, evaluating new conditions, and exploring cutting-edge "lab-on-a-chip" research. This project highlights chemical engineering's impact on…
