Engineering Genetic Circuits: Design

This course gives an introduction to the biology and biochemistry necessary to understand genetic circuits. It starts by providing an engineering viewpoint on genetic circuit design and a review of cells and their structure. The second module introduces genetic parts and the importance of standards followed by a discussion of genetic devices used within circuit design. The last two modules cover experimental techniques and construction methods and principles applied during the design process.   This course can also be taken for academic credit as ECEA 5934, part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Electrical Engineering.
