This course will demonstrate how an integrated process for the production of a typical bioproduct is designed. It will train delegates to assess the feasibility of project proposals by exposure to a relevant and topical commercial scale bioprocess design problem. Project management skills will be stressed as will concepts of value engineering. Emphasis will be placed on the importance of teamwork in the development of a design. This will be enabled through a series of detailed studies during the module.

The module is designed to apply underpinning science and engineering knowledge gained in earlier modules towards the complete design of a bioprocess facility for the production of biotech products arising out of life science discoveries. Such products would typically include biopharmaceutical products arising out of Phase II clinical trials.

Upon completion of the course, a student will acquire skills to :

Examine key phases in the design cycle applied to facility design
	Create and analyse bioprocess flowsheets
	Economically appraise bioprocess flowsheets
	Perform detailed design of the facility and the bioprocess equipment required to satisfy GMP and safety, health and environmental (SHE) regulations
	Apply engineering principles and life science knowledge to an industrially-relevant open-ended problem
	Make decisions under uncertainty and having incomplete data • Plan, organize and prioritize team activities • Defend design options and decisions taken
