The course is offered by the Department of Chemical & Process Engineering (CPE) that has a significant interest and research profile in biological engineering with strong industrial and academic links. It addresses two key areas of need for UK bio-industry: (i) a multidisciplinary training in the emergent discipline of biological engineering and (ii) training in industrial bioprocessing. These two needs are combined using a uniquely multidisciplinary teaching experience. The course is designed for students with a first degree (or equivalent) in engineering or science (with a qualification of 2:1 or above) that wish to specialise in the area, either before entering the field or after gaining some practical experience. Tailored 'conversion' courses designed to teach core interdisciplinary principles make the degree accessible to both bioscience and engineering graduates. Whilst based in CPE, the programme also incorporates highly complementary teaching modules provided by a range Sheffield's world-class departments (e.g. Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, Biomedical Sciences, and Engineering Materials). The modules offered in the course are split between two semesters (cf. Case for support). The first semester consists of a 30 credit conversion module (either Principles of Biochemical engineering for bioscience graduates, or Principles of Biomolecular Sciences for chemical engineers), and two 15 credit compulsory modules (Biosystems Engineering & Computational Biology and Research Methods in Biochemical Engineering). The second semester consists of a 15 credit module on Biopharmaceutical Bioprocessing that is compulsory, and five 15 credit specialist modules (electives), from which the students select three. The specialist modules are designed around expertise uniquely available at Sheffield, and introduce the students to different emergent areas of interest to the bio-industry. These include Bionanomaterias, Tissue Engineering, Stem cell Biology, Microfluidics, and Bioenergy. The former three modules are offered by specialist Sheffield departments, whilst the latter two are offered by CPE. We propose to introduce a 10 credit module on Bioanalytical Technologies as a part of the 60 credit Research Project that will be taught in the first semester, to introduce generic practical skills and contemporary post-genomic technologies for biological engineering and bioprocessing, including recombinant DNA technologies, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and bioimaging, etc. A sixth specialist elective module on Synthetic Biology is also proposed for next year entry, and will comprise design principles and the legal, social and ethical framework. A year-long compulsary laboratory-based Research Project (60 credits) gives the student practical experience of research in a chosen area of biological and bioprocess engineering. The projects are chosen by the student in an area related to the research activities in CPE, and they are supervised by one or more members of academic and research staff (cf. Example research projects offered to current MSc cohort). There is an emphasis in the module on experimental design, planning, conduct and presentation of the research. The students are assessed on their ability to present the work in written report formats and through oral and poster presentations. In addition to formal lectures, the taught modules contain small group tutorials and coursework, where the students get the opportunity for self-reflection and interactive learning to enchance their learning experience. With the MTG funding, we propose to hold an Industrial seminar programme where our industrial partners will be invited to deliver lectures on specialist topics. We also propose to take the students away to a biopharmaceutical manufacturing facility that will add value to their education. The students will also get an opportunity to explore career options through attendance at relevant conferences, which we will

该课程由化学与工艺工程系（CPE）提供，该工程具有牢固的工业和学术联系的生物工程学兴趣和研究概况。它解决了英国生物行业需求的两个关键领域：（i）在生物工程的新兴学科和（ii）工业生物处理方面的培训中进行的多学科培训。这两个需求是使用独特的多学科教学经验结合在一起的。该课程专为在进入领域之前或获得一些实践经验之前，希望专门研究该领域的工程或科学学位（或等效）的学生（具有2：1或以上的资格）。量身定制的“转换”课程旨在教授核心跨学科原则，使生物科学和工程毕业生都可以访问学位。尽管该计划位于CPE，但该计划还结合了Sheffield的世界一流部门提供的高度互补的教学模块（例如，分子生物学和生物技术，生物医学科学和工程材料）。课程中提供的模块分为两个学期（参见支持案例）。第一学期由30个学分转换模块（生物科学毕业生的生化工程原理或化学工程师的生物分子科学原理）和两个15个学分强制性模块（生物系统工程和计算生物学和生物化学工程研究方法）。第二学期由强制性生物制药生物处理的15个学分模块和5个15个15个信用专家模块（选修课）组成，学生们从中选择了三个。专业模块是围绕在谢菲尔德独家提供的专业知识设计的，并向学生介绍了生物行业的不同新兴领域。其中包括Bionanomaterias，组织工程，干细胞生物学，微流体和生物能源。前三个模块由专家谢菲尔德部门提供，而后两个则由CPE提供。 We propose to introduce a 10 credit module on Bioanalytical Technologies as a part of the 60 credit Research Project that will be taught in the first semester, to introduce generic practical skills and contemporary post-genomic technologies for biological engineering and bioprocessing, including recombinant DNA technologies, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and bioimaging, etc. A sixth specialist elective module on还提出了合成生物学的参与，并将包括设计原则以及法律，社会和道德框架。长达一年的强迫实验室研究项目（60个学分）为学生和生物处理工程所选领域的研究实践经验提供了实践经验。这些项目是由学生在与CPE研究活动有关的领域中选择的，并且由学术和研究人员的一名或多个成员（参见提供给当前MSC COHORT的示例研究项目）对其进行监督。该模块重点是研究，计划，行为和表现。评估学生以书面报告格式以及通过口头和海报演示介绍作品的能力。除了正式的讲座外，教导的模块还包含小组教程和课程，学生可以获得自我反思和互动学习的机会，以弥补他们的学习经验。借助MTG资金，我们建议举办一项工业研讨会计划，邀请我们的工业合作伙伴发表有关专家主题的讲座。我们还建议将学生带到生物制药制造工厂，以增加他们的教育价值。学生还将通过参加相关会议来探索职业选择，我们将
