On completion of this module students will be able to:
1. Distinguish between the different types of mathematical models applied to microbial or animal cell bioreactors.
2. Implement basic kinetic and stoichiometric relationships in batch and fed-batch bioreactor models.
3. Analyze and interpret bioreactor process data.
4. Describe the mechanisms associated with non-ideal effects on process performance in bioreactors and describe how these effects can be simulated.
5. Apply sensitivity analysis to model outputs in order to develop an understanding of the nature of predictive associations.
6. Describe key concepts in bioreactor process control.
