Abstract	A laboratory supplement to a senior biochemical engineering course was developed to improve teaming skills and expose chemical engineering students to nontraditional industries, such as food, pharmaceuticals, biomedical engineering, and bioprocessing. This diversity in the chemical engineering curriculum prepares students for a career that may include one of these industries. The course is taught as a 3-credit lecture class, and with funds awarded by the Camille and Henry Dreyfus Foundation, four laboratory experiments were developed to involve the students in active learning and allow them to work directly with biological compounds and cells. The experiments emphasize some of the main points taught in lectures, namely in the areas of enzyme kinetics, fermentations, cell growth/nutrient supply, and bioseparations. Each of the student teams give one presentation on theory as the subject fits into the regularly scheduled lectures, and complete experiments before submitting a final report and giving a second presentation on experimental methods and results. The experiments give students a chance to work with equipment and techniques appropriate for the biotechnology industry, including hemocytometry, electrophoresis, centrifuges, incubators, dissolved oxygen probes, ultrafiltration membranes, and a spectrophotometer. Further information on this course is available on-line at www.bama.ua.edu/~cbrazel/BioChELab.htm, along with links to many biotechnology resources.
