Biotechnology
Programme Educational Objectives:
Graduates of B. Tech (Biotechnology) will:
- Harness mathematical, analytical, chemical and biological principles for product development in the field of biotechnology and related areas
- Formulate and effectively translate biological process into industrial production
- Develop lifelong learning skills and has a bent towards sustainability and contribute towards fundamental and translational research across wide aspects of biotechnology to meet ever changing societal needs
PROGRAM OUTCOMES:
Upon successful completion of the program the graduates will,
- Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.
- Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
- Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
- Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
- Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.
- The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
- Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.
- Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.
- Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.
- Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
- Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
- Life-long learning: Recognize the need for and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
Program Specific Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of the program the graduates will,
- Harness the cellular and molecular biological principles for product development to cater to the development of all societal sectors
- Understand and formulate biological processes to solve industrial problems and scale the same into industrial production
- Devise effective technological solutions encompassing appropriate upstream and downstream methods for niche industrial demands
- Contribute towards fundamental and translational research across wide aspects of applied and interdisciplinary biotechnology
