In this class you will conduct a cellular design project. You will create a design to engineer cells to accomplish a task or solve a problem. You will define the problem that you will work on. In class we will explore and apply the necessary topics and models applying your previous and current coursework in thermodynamics, kinetics, transport etc that will be necessary to achieve your goals. The particular topics will be driven by the project. | In this class you will conduct a cellular design project. You will create a design to engineer cells to accomplish a task or solve a problem.

Aug 23 GROUP BRAINSTORM: Define the problem(s) that cells face and must find solutions to in their native environments. What are the design criteria? What are the constraints? What are the size scales? What are the processes that occur and how do they relate to topics of thermodynamics, kinetics, and transport? We will have a group discussion following. You do not have to turn anything in for this, but the thought process will be useful for the writing assignment below.
