Engineering Design and Systems Analysis
- Goal
1. Expand knowledge about product and system
design, engineering computation and analysis, and
differential biological systems, and

2. Obtain skills for conducting research and managing

projects related to biobased products and biological
engineering systems

So that participants have knowledge and skills to

further promote the development of better biobased
products and biological systems.
Engineering Design and Systems Analysis
- Objectives
1. Learn the basic steps for biobased product and
biological systems design

2. Learn main tools including static experimental

design and data analysis, mathematical modeling
and computer simulation for engineering analysis

3. Learn different biological systems, and

4. learn how to use engineering tools to examine

different biological systems
