BIOPROCESS/ BIOSYSTEMS DESIGN PROJECT 1

What do we know so far?- Design project is different for both programs- However, some elements remain the same, no

matter what kind of engineering field you’re in- We also know you already have a team, and a

topic- What is the most recent event related to

sustainability happened in Malaysia?
