ADVANCES IN BIORESOURCE ENGINEERING

Graduate

The quest for food security, renewable energy, climate change and demand for sustainable fuels has increased focus on biomass conversion and technological interventions to cope with these challenges. This course covers advanced topics in bioresource engineering to acquire an understanding of sustainability challenges in bioresource sector and propose optimal climate smart solutions by implementing technologies and processes. The course is delivered in three complementary modules: i) deep learning and artificial intelligence for sustainable food production, ii) biofuels and biomaterials, and iii) the design of biomass conversion reactors. Graduate-level project will be required as defined in consultation with the instructor. PREREQUISITE: Admission to the graduate program in Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering HOURS OF CREDIT: 3
