This is a core course for the pharmaceutical engineering concentration. This course will follow a combination of modular lecture and laboratory-based teaching (lab modules will require students to participate in conducting wet lab experiments followed by calculations). Drug manufacturing often relies on principles of chemistry, pharmaceutics, and technology. Most of the classical pharmaceutical engineering degree programs either do not extensively address newly defined design-based approaches or require long years of work experience to acquire integrated knowledge on pharm-science, relevant regulations and process technology. This knowledge gap on the interface of pharmacy and process technology has been identified independently by WHO and AAPS survey (Lawrence 2017; O'Connor 2016). The goal of this course is to help develop the desired skill sets covering the concepts to adapt technology principles to pharmaceutical and life sciences with topics ranging from process technology in the
