Course Overview
The Bioreactors online course begins by introducing some of the fundamental quantities that need to be used while working with bioreactors. For example, specific growth rate, yield coefficient, etc. Then, after studying some introductory kinetics, candidates will look at the different kinds of bioreactor operations, and analyze them.
Later on in the Bioreactors online programme, candidates will move beyond the black-box approach and start looking at what exactly happens inside a bioreactor. They will study the cells inside the bioreactor, which are the actual factories that produce a product. They will learn how to optimize these to give us the products we need, in the way that we need them.
The four-week Bioreactors certification programme benefits not only undergraduate students from Biotechnology, Biological, Chemical, and Biochemical Engineering programmes, but even experienced scholars in their MS, ME, or PhD. Teachers can also take this course, to better understand the fundamental concepts, and reach higher levels of instruction.

Eligibility Criteria
To be able to benefit from the Bioreactors training programme, learners should be able to appreciate simple mathematical analyses.
In this four-week programme, candidates will have four assignments. Out of these four, 25% of their average score in the best three, will be used to calculate their ‘Average Assignment Score’. Also, 75% of the marks they secure in the 100-mark proctored term-end exam, will constitute their ‘Exam Score’.
To be eligible for certification, the candidate’s Average Assignment Score should be greater than or equal to 10/25, their Exam Score should be greater than or equal to 30/75, and their Total Score (Exam Score + Average Assignment Score) should be greater than or equal to 40/100. Even if the candidate is unable to meet any one of these criteria, they will not receive the certification.
