Biochemical Engineering Web Site List

Welcome to our comprehensive Biochemical Engineering Web Site List! We felt it would be a good idea to create a "starting point" at RPI for browsers interested in Biochemical Engineering outside the Institute. As of Fall, 1995, it follows the basic course outline of Prof. H. Bungay's Biochemical Engineering course at RPI plus a few industrial and academic resources present on the Web.

This site was composed by Rob Liander and Christine Springer of Prof. Bungay's Fall '95 Introduction to Biochemical Engineering class.
