Outlines a graduate course, "Microbial Systems Analysis," for students in chemical and environmental engineering or engineering mechanics, as well as microbiology, ecology and biotechnology. Describes the objectives, structure and laboratory experiments for the course. (YP)

Describes a chemical engineering course for senior undergraduates and first year graduate students in biochemical engineering. Discusses five experiments used in the course: aseptic techniques, dissolved oxygen measurement, oxygen uptake by yeast, continuous sterilization, and cultivation of microorganisms. (MVL)

Describes an engineering course for graduate study in random media. Summarizes random media as bulk properties of ordered and disordered two-phase materials. Gives course outline for one semester. Topics include: disordered systems, microstructure determination, survey of models, connectivity, and effective properties. (MVL)
