Theoretical classes, problem resolution classes and one experimental work.Visit to an industrial or pilot plant of an biotechnology based process.
Evaluation method
Approval on EBI for continuous evaluation requires the following 3 criteria
1- The arithmetic mean of the 2 midterm examinations have to be higher or equal to 9,5
2- Lab work, report editing and discussion
3- The final mark is weighted as : 60% of the 2 midterm examinations + 40% lab work and have to be higher or equal to 9,5
