Fundamentals, design and applications of drug delivery systems

Abstract

Chemical Engineers play an important and expanding role in the exciting field of drug delivery, yet undergraduate chemical engineering students are rarely exposed to drug delivery through their coursework. Chemical Engineering faculty at Rowan University are engaged in an effort to develop and integrate applied drug delivery coursework and experiments throughout the Rowan Engineering curriculum. This paper describes a senior/graduate level elective course in drug delivery, with descriptions of the course structure, organization and content, references, experiments and projects used in this course.
