Metabolism Engineering Internship Overview

The video introduces the metabolism engineering internship, guiding students through the process of designing a health bar using the Futura workspace. Students meet Amina Reed, the project director, and learn about the roles of engineers. The video explains the project criteria, phases, and the use of the Recipe Test tool. Students are instructed on reading tasks and homework to enhance their understanding of metabolism and engineering concepts.
