This laboratory course comprises the following four topics, i) atomic structure and application of spectroscopic methods, introduction of analytic methods ii) chemical reactions (qualitative analysis), bonding types, reaction types, reaction equations  iii) acid-base concepts, acid-base reactions in water, buffer solution, quantitative analysis (titration) iv), redox processes in water, redox potential, Nernst theory describing the concentration dependence of redox potentials, galvanic elements and electrolysis.

Prior to every experiement, a seminar takes place in small groups (12-15 students). The students participate orally. Team work and cooperation are forwarded because the experiments in the lab and the writing of the reports is conducted in groups of three or four students. Additionally, acedemic writing conveyed (documentation of experiment results in lab journals, literature citations in reports).

The course pursues three important goals for the education of chemical and bioengineers. Using examples such as the production of penicillin or the Haber-Bosch process, the lecturers of process engineering present how green engineering processes can be developed with the help of process engineering approaches and methods and which development stages are passed through in the process. The lecturers also show how such processes can be made increasingly sustainable with the help of new research directions and results. In addition, students learn the basis of scientific literature research and how this can be used to open up a new subject area. They also learn how to distinguish between scientific and non-scientific sources. Finally, the students create their own short scientific texts and learn how to cite correctly and safely. 

In the lecture we will learn the basic characteristics of organisms of all kingdoms of life. This includes cell biology as well as cell physiology. We understand the energetic foundations of living systems and the variety of possible metabolic concepts of life. From these basic laws we will understand how and to what extent an application and genetic reprogramming of organisms for application can take place.

The aim of the practical course is to teach basic microbiological and molecular biological techniques on the basis of individual research assignments and control experiments. In doing so, organisms are to be isolated in this practical course, which will be further processed by students of the 4th and 6th semester in two independent modules.

In the Practical Course in Measurement Technology the theory from the lectures "Physical Fundamentals of Measurement Technology" and "Measurement Technology" will be applied in practice. In small groups students learn how to handle different measurement techniques from industry and research. During the practical course, a wide range of different measurement methods will be taught, including the use of HLPC columns for qualitative mass analysis, the determination of mass transfer coefficients using optical oxygen sensors or the evaluation of image data to obtain process parameters. The practical course also teaches how measurement data are statistically evaluated and experiments are correctly documented.

In the exercise-lecture the topics from the main lecture are discussed intensively and transferred into application. For that, the students receive example tasks for download. The students solve these problems based on the lecture material either independently or in small groups. The solution is discussed with the students under scientific supervision and parts of the solutions are presented on the chalk board. At the end of each exercise-lecture, the correct solution is presented on the chalk board. Parallel to the exercise-lecture tutorials are held where the student solve exam questions under a set time-frame in small groups and discuss the solutions afterwards.

The students work on eight different experiments in this practical course. For every one of the eight experiments, a colloquium takes place in which the students explain and discuss the theoretical background and its translation into practice with staff and fellow students.

The students work small groups with a high degree of division of labor. For every experiment, the students write a report. They receive instructions in terms of scientific writing as well as feedback on their own reports and level of scientific writing so they can increase their capabilities in this area.

Widespread techniques of microbiological, biochemical and genetic approaches will be taught during this course.

Before the practical conduct of the experiments a colloquium takes place in which the students explain, reflect and discuss the theoretical basics and their translation into practice.

The students write up a report for every experiment. They receive feedback to their level of scientific writing (citation methods, labeling of graphs, etc.), so that they can improve their competence in this field over the course of the practical course.

Topics and Methods of the course include:

- Morphology and growth of different bacteria strains

- Measuring of microbial growth by turbidity

- Preparation of several culture media

- Strain identification by gram staining and analytical profile index (API test)

- Genetic background identification by 16S rRNA analysis

- Microscopy

- BLAST analyses

- Colony PCR procedure

- Enzyme activity measurements and kinetics (Michaelis-Menten equation, Lineweaver-Burk plot)

- Enzymes as biocatalysts (exemplarily use of enzymes in detergents)

- Measurement of protein concentrations (Bradford protein assay)

- Qualitative and quantitative enzyme activity assay

In groups, the students plan a production plant for a microbial process (up-stream) using the "Bioprocess Trainer" software from Hass & Pörtner "Praxis der Bioprozesstechnik". The design of the production plant should combine two major topics: plant technology (bioreactors, type, power input, gassing, stirrer, scale-up, etc.) and processes strategy (process modes, feeding strategies, etc.).

The results are presented in presentations on the current status of the work and a final presentation and summarized in a written elaboration.
