Team Design Project

Catalog description

In this capstone project, the second year MEng students work in teams to design a complete biomanufacturing process capable of producing commercial quantities of an API and DP including gene cell therapeutic products, vaccines, and stem cell products. Working on separate design projects, each team evaluates the manufacturing options, design the equipment and plant facility to meet a specified annual demand for the product, as well as assess the potential commercial opportunities. Teams are advised by a panel of academic and industry experts. Monthly presentations are scheduled to monitor the progress of each project. Each semester the students are required to submit an executive summary report. At the end of the academic year, the teams present their work in front of KGI faculty and industry participants.
