Module 1: Cell & Biomolecules Fundamentals This module covers the structure and functions of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, stem cells, and the properties and functions of key biomolecules like carbohydrates, nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, enzymes, vitamins, and hormones. Module 2: Applications of Biomolecules This module focuses on applying biomolecules in engineering solutions, such as using carbohydrates in water filters, PHA/PLA in bioplastics, nucleic acids in vaccines, proteins in food production, lipids in biodiesel, and enzymes in various industrial processes. Module 3: Bioengineering Design & Anatomical Principles This module explores analogies between biological systems and engineering designs, comparing the brain to a CPU, the eye to a camera, the heart to a pump, the lungs to a purification system, and the kidney to a filtration system. Module 4: Nature-Bioinspired Materials and Mechanisms This module discusses bio-inspiration from nature, including echolocation, photosynthesis, bird flight, the lotus leaf effect, and shark skin. It also covers biomaterials like human blood substitutes. Module 5: Trends in Bioengineering This module introduces tissue engineering, focusing on muscular and skeletal systems, scaffolds, and tissue engineering principles. It also covers emerging trends like bioprinting, bioimaging with AI for diagnosis, self-healing bioconcrete, and bioremediation.
