Provisional
Syllabus:
Please provide a provisional syllabus for new courses and courses in which changes in content and/or description and/or credits are proposed that include the following information: course goals and description; format/structure of the course (proposed number of instructor contact hours per week, student workload effort per week, etc.); topics to be covered; scope and nature of assigned readings (texts, authors, frequency, amount per week); required course assignments; nature of any student projects; and how students will be evaluated.

The University policy on credits is found under Section 4A of "Standards for Semester Conversion" at http://www.fpd.finop.umn.edu/groups/senate/documents/policy/semestercon.html . Provisional course syllabus information will be retained in this system until new syllabus information is entered with the next major course modification, This provisional course syllabus information may not correspond to the course as offered in a particular semester.

New:  BBE 4013          Transport in Biological Systems

NOTE: All references in this document to Visual Basic programming are dropped starting in Fall, 2010 as the course will convert to 3 credit and will not have a lab. The programming/calculations part of the present course will be moved to the proposed revised Introduction to Design course.
(3 cr;  prereq [3013 or Concurrent registration is required (or allowed) in BBE 3013 or ChEn 3701], CE 3502, [ME 3331 or ChEn 4101], upper div IT); A-F only; 3 lect per week,).
Course Description: Application of thermodynamics, fluid flow, heat/mass transfer to design problems involving biological processes and materials at cell, organism, and system level. Agricultural, environmental, food, and bioprocessing applications. There are also some applications related to the biomedical field as well. Computer applications with Visual Basic programming.
