Description
Summary:This course will interactively engage students cognitively and scientifically in areas of environmental biotechnology. This course is intended to provide an introduction to the biotechnological solutions towards the remediation of environmental problems. Students will also be introduced to the principles of genetic engineering and their role in environmental issues. The students are expected to be aware of the potential use of biotechnology in providing value added solutions to environmental issues. The topics such as, microbial transformation of organic waste, wastewater microbiology, bioremediation and clean technology will be discussed. In the end of the course, the students will be exposed to the current issues and development related to the environmental biotechnology. The outcomes shall be assessed through a variety of tools which include the traditional paper examination, tests, written assignment and oral presentation, laboratory reports and classroom engagement.
