MANIPAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

BIOLOGY FOR ENGINEERS COURSE PLAN

Department : Biotechnology
Course Name & code : Biology for Engineers, BIO 1071
Semester & branch : B. Tech First Semester Common to All branches
No of contact hours/week : 3 Hours, Total 36 Hours

Course Outcomes (Cos)

At the end of this course, the student should be able to:

CO1: Interpret the buildings blocks of life by analyzing the elements, chemical
bonding and macromolecules of living systems

CO2: Infer the flow of information in living systems through simple genetic
experiments

CO3: Illustrate DNA as a dynamic information storage molecule

CO4: Assess the biological organization from micro-level to macro-level biological


systems as well as to understand evolution as a tool for improvising existing life
forms

CO5: Integrate the concepts of biology in solving complex engineering problems
