BIOLOGY FOR ENGINEERS Total Contact Hours - 30 LTPC 2002 Prerequisite Nil PURPOSE The purpose of this course is to provide a basic understanding of biological mechanisms of living organisms from the perspective of engineers. In addition, the course is expected to encourage engineering students to think about solving biological problems with engineering tools. INSTRUCTIONAL OBJECTIVES 1. To familiarize the students with the basic organization of organisms and subsequent building to a living being 2. To impart an understanding about the machinery of the cell functions that is ultimately responsible for various daily activities. 3. To provide knowledge about biological problems that requires engineering expertise to solve them UNIT I BASIC CELL BIOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY 10 hrs.
