Bioengineering Introduction

Physics, Chemistry and English.

Teaching methodologies: Presentation of concepts and case studies. Resolution of quizzes. Preparation of presentations, essays, reports, quizzes and laboratory work.

After attending the course ‘Introduction to Bioengineering’ the expected learning outcomes are:
1 – Apply dimensional analysis and unit conversion.
2.1 – Write the chemical formula of inorganic compounds based on their name.
2.2 – Determine the composition of mixtures.
2.3 – Predict the quantities of spent reagents and products generated in a chemical reaction.
2.4 – Prepare solutions and carry out classic acid-base titrations.
3 – Develop mass balances to systems and processes.

1. Units and dimensions:
Units’ multiples and submultiples.
Dimensional analysis and unit conversion.
2. Basic calculations of chemical engineering:
Solutions: Concentration of solutions, ways of expressing concentration, and dilution of solutions.
Nomenclature of inorganic compounds.
Stoichiometry of chemical reactions: Classification of equations and chemical reactions, quantitative treatment of chemical reactions, and acid-base titrations (Laboratory).
3. Introduction to mass balances:
Mass balances to mixtures of solutions and mixing nodes, in liquid and solid phase.
