Biotechnology
Engineering Nature’s Potential for a Sustainable Future.
Biotechnology
The Department of Biotechnology was established in 2020 and has a strong multidisciplinary research and teaching foundation in Biotechnology. It conducts joint research with other Institute departments as well as other local and foreign institutes. The department recently established a cutting-edge center for biotechnology research.
B.Tech. in Biotechnology program at Rathinam Technical Campus is designed to foster and teach individuals with a passionate interest in research and the bio-industry to tackle the current challenges of biotech research/industry. The curriculum emphasizes fundamental and practical understanding of vital biotechnology disciplines, as well as specialized sectors through specific programs in Medical and Nano-biotechnology. “In addition, optional courses from different fields will give students with interdisciplinary experience. Hands-on laboratory training, along with the mini project components to be completed in-house/other R&D institutes/industries, will provide students with the skills needed in today’s job market, both in academia and in industry, upon completion of the program.
Bio Incubation hub( Bio-i-hub) is the highlight of our department that uses innovation technologies to promote strategic areas with a high capacity to transform and impact people’s Sustainable development goals. The Center’s prime goal is to foster and accelerate cutting-edge biotechnological product developments by providing a wide variety of assistance to innovators and entrepreneurs working at the confluence of bioscience and technology. The department currently offers Tech in Biotechnology (Regular – 4 Years)
The Vision of the department is to produce globally competent professionals for the benefit of society by promoting research, providing the required training and atmosphere necessary to achieve academic excellence.
- To inculcate technical knowledge in the different areas of biotechnology
- To provide training in various fields of technology and research
- To promote research and develop innovative products for the well-being of society
- Establish mutually beneficial partnerships with industry, alumni, local, state, and central governments by public service assistance and collaborative research.
- PEO1: To apply knowledge across the disciplines and in emerging areas of biotechnology for higher studies, research, employability, and product development.
- PEO2: To develop communication skills, a sense of responsibility to protect the environment, ethical conduct towards their profession, and commitment to serve society.
- PEO3: To possess academic excellence, managerial skills, and leadership qualities, and understand the need for lifelong learning for a prosperous professional career.
PO2: Problem analysis Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using the first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.
PO3: Design/development of solutions Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, and cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
PO4: Conduct investigations of complex problems Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
PO5: Modern tool usage Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.
PO6: The engineer and society Apply reason informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
PO7: Environment and sustainability Understand the impact of professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.
PO8: Ethics Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice
PO9: Individual and team work Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.
PO10: Communication Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
PO11: Project management and finance Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
PO12: Life-long learning Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
