MIT MIT-OCW
Biochemical Engineering
MIT OpenCourseWare's Biochemical Engineering covers the overlap between chemical engineering, biochemistry, and microbiology. Lectures build mathematical representations of microbial systems and work through kinetics of growth, death, and metabolism. The course moves into continuous fermentation, agitation, and mass transfer, then addresses scale-up problems that arise when moving fermentation systems from bench to industrial size. Enzyme technology closes out the material. Materials include MIT's lecture notes and course structure from the original chemical engineering curriculum, free to access with no enrollment cost, following MIT OCW's standard model of open lecture materials without live instruction or a paid certificate track.
