Course Objectives
A one-semester course designed for Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering students aiming to introduce concepts in cellular biology such as cells, inheritance, and gene expression.
Course Content
This course is designed to introduce molecular cell biology and genetics concepts to non-biology majors. Topics of the course include introductory cell biology, principles of genetics, human genome project, basics of molecular biology techniques, immune system and cancer.
Course Learning Outcomes
An ability to clearly understand how cells live, communicate and die, along with a knowledge of processes unique to biological systems. This includes an understanding of gene expression and inheritance. Students will be taught about diseased states where necessary and application of biology in technology.
