Food Microbiology

Principles of microbiology applied to food manufacture. Emphasis on influence of food formulation and processing on microbial growth, methodology to detect organisms in foods, design of industrial HACCP programs, and causative agents of food-borne illness. Prerequisites: MICROBIO 310 and concurrent registration in FOOD-SCI 566 or consent of instructor.

Intro Simulatn Meth

A working knowledge of the principles and methods of computer simulation for the analysis and design of complex systems. Emphasis on the development of the basic methods required for next-event simulations. Techniques required for validating and verifying computer simulations. Prerequisite: M&I-ENG 273. M&I-ENG 390M concurrently.

Gen Biochemistry Lab for Major

Modern techniques in experimental biochemistry and molecular biology. Experiments include enzymology, protein purification, and gene expression and organization. Methods include spectrophotometry, polymerase chain reaction, DNA cloning, electrophoresis, protein detection by immunoblot, RNA hybridization, and computer analysis of DNA and protein sequence data. Manipulation of animal, plant, yeast, and bacterial systems. Fulfills second part of Junior Year Writing requirement (first part is BIOCHEM 491H).
