Leerresultaten

Algemene competenties

The course ‘Technologies in Bioscience and Chemistry’ explicitly contributes to the following competences within the studie:

1. In general

Students develop by themselves a learning process in the scientific discipline; with regard to filling gaps in their knowledge.

2. Specific goals

Students are able to use correctly the basic subject terminology of the Biosciences and Chemistry.
Students have the ability to collect scientific data. They can observate and formulate biological relevances in the study of Business Economics. They can evaluate the biological components of an economic problem (biotechnology, biology development, relation ecology-economic) and make a conclusion.
Students do understand the economic, social-cultural and ethical implications of ecological, biological and medical aspects.
The students who successfully complete this course can correctly place any biological component of a problem from his or her field both when it concerns biotechnological and/or chemical components or if this concerns the interface between economy and ecology.
The course aims to place an organism, an ecosystem, or a part of it, a medial product or a food product in a context of society, industry or economy. One intends that way to break the divide between the professional domain of the Commercial Engineer and the scientist.

3. Per sub-discipline

Students acquire the sufficient knowledge and the insight to be able to follow the course ‘Business aspects of Biotechnology’ in the study of ‘Master of Business and Technology’. The material provided will also help to better understand the ethical and social issues that can be traced back to molecular methods.
Students can use methodologies correctly in the context of Biology, Biotechnology and Chemistry, but also as concepts that can be transferred to other disciplines in Medicine and Pharmacie.
Students are able to apply the food safety regulations in the food sector.
Students can follow and participate in current debates about biodiversity, the environment, pandemics,…
