Annotation -
The course focuses on extending and deepening the theoretical knowledge acquired in Bioengineering I and its application to bioengineering data processing. Practical examples are used to gradually build the knowledge and skills apparatus for the individual steps towards achieving industrial implementation of bioprocesses - planning, processing, interpretation, scale-up/scale-down and modelling of bioengineering data from different scales of bioprocess. The course is primarily focused on acquiring knowledge and practical skills for the engineering implementation of individual phases of the bioprocess and the bioprocess as a whole.

Teaching methods -

Lectures with practical cases and derivation of mathematical relationships and engineered solutions with an emphasis on understanding the complexity and the necessity of synthesizing previously and newly acquired knowledge and skills.

Exercises with jointly solved case studies, which are followed by individually solved case studies using software tools in the PC classroom. Students apply theoretical knowledge from lectures in the solution of gradually developing and interconnected partial case studies in the final covering the entire structure of the bioprocess from experiment planning to modeling and simulation.

Requirements to the exam -

The exam is based on an oral form. A team of students presents a solved case study of a complex bioengineering task followed by a discussion.

The condition for granting credit is active participation in lectures and seminars. A student may miss a maximum of two lectures and exercises without an excuse. With a relevant excuse of over 60% participation, credit can be obtained for the standard protocol and defense of the project in a team. With a relevant excuse of under 60% participation, credit can only be obtained for an individual protocol and defense.

The final grade is given by the weighted average of two values obtained during the oral exam: 1. team presentation of the solved individual project (weight 33%) and 2. individual discussion with the student (weight 64%).
