Abstract

The university course of Bioprocess Engineering is designed to introduce the student to the principles of Biochemical Engineering. The students acquire a global understanding of the biochemical processes. A new teaching methodology, very different from that which was common 30 years ago with non-participatory lectures and classes based on taking notes, was established. In this paper these new teaching strategies have been described. Moreover, the results obtained in the interviews realized along the course in order to determine the satisfaction of the students have been showed. The obtained results permit to verify the total integration of the students into the system, participating and proposing numerous activities. Students were satisfied with new teaching methodology developed in the pilot experience and most of them wished to continue using these new strategies. Summing up, we can conclude that the teaching and learning course was successful. In addition, we detected that the knowledge of methods, practical applications and the reality of biotechnology was increased significantly with this methodology.
