This note illustrates how knowledge and
principles of biology, biochemistry, and engineering are integrated to create
new products for societal benefit. It uses a case study format to examine
recently developed products of pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries: how
a product evolves from initial idea, through patents, testing, evaluation,
production, and marketing.
This note covers the following topics:
Ordinary differential equations (ODEs), and initial and boundary conditions,
Eigenvalue and eigenvector analysis, Analytical and numerical techniques for
solving ODE, Heat equation, Analytical solution to inhomogeneous PDEs using
Green's functions.
The beginning lecture notes describe the
science basis for bioengineering with particular emphasis on molecular cell
biology and systems biology. Topics covered are: Bioengineering Science, Biology
Science, Biological Engineering, BioMechanical Engineering, Bioengineering in
Civil and Environmental Engineering, Biomaterial Sciences and Bioengineering in
Computer Science.
