Metabolism Engineering Internship Overview

The video introduces the metabolism engineering internship, guiding students through the use of Amplify and Futura workspaces. Students meet Amina Reed, the project director, and learn about the roles of engineers. The project involves designing a health bar, with criteria including metabolic needs, taste, and cost. Students use the Recipe Test tool to simulate designs and are encouraged to engage in active reading and complete homework assignments.
