MINOR IN BIOCHEMICAL ENGINEERING

A minor in Biochemical Engineering may be earned by a student in any University bachelor's degree program through successful completion of a minimum of 19 credits as described below. This degree provides students with an opportunity to study new advances in biochemistry and the biological sciences integrated with engineering analysis. Before beginning these courses the student must meet the required course prerequisites. A minimum grade of C- is required in all of the courses completed for the minor.

To obtain a Minor in Biochemical Engineering the student must take the following four required courses:
BISC 207 Introductory Biology I
BISC 401 Molecular Biology of the Cell
CHEG 420 Biochemical Engineering
CHEM 527 Introduction to Biochemistry
or CHEM 641/CHEM 642 Biochemistry I/II (sequence may substitute for CHEM 527)

AND the students must take any TWO of the following courses:
BISC 403 Genetic and Evolutionary Biology
BISC 471 Introductory Immunology
BISC 484 Computer Based Genetics Laboratory
CHEG 460 Introduction to Systems Biology
CHEG 621 Metabolic Engineering
CHEM 643 Intermediary Metabolism
CHEM 644 Mechanisms of Enzyme Catalysis
CHEM 645 Protein Structure and Function
CHEM 646 DNA-Protein Interactions
CHEM 648 Membrane Biochemistry
CHEM 649 Molecular Biophysics
CHEM 686 Biophysical Chemistry
MEEG 486 Cell and Tissue Transport
UNIV 401/UNIV 402 Senior Thesis (3 credits, upon approval)

Other courses in Chemical Engineering, Chemistry or Biology may be included in the list with the prior approval of Professor Wilfred Chen at (302) 831-6327 or wilfred@udel.edu. For inquiries about the Biochemical Engineering Minor, please contact Professor Chen.
