<p>What are some of the useful courses for this area of chemical engineering? In other words, what is the main thing that industry uses in bioprocess engineering. The only thing I can think of is to take courses in things like cell biology, microbiology, and perhaps molecular biology. What are some other useful courses?</p>
<p>i would say microbiology and biochemistry are quite important. another one that comes into my head is chemical separation techniques.
some schools specifically offer biochemical engineering and protein engineering as a class.
you might also want to do undergrad research in cell culture and/or protein purification.</p>
<p>I’m actually planning to try doing that next year (if I qualify for the undergraduate research program that we have at my university). My school does not offer a bioengineering program, so the cloest thing I have here is a minor in biology.</p>
