Abstract: In the many months following the C o r o n a v i r u s f l a r e - u p , a l a r g e n u m b e r o f Biotechnology Engineering students throughout the world are compelled to switch over from conventional lab based learning to computational technology based learning. This uncommon interchange enormously affected the method of learning project courses. Specifically, biological science projects which require the students and staff to work in the actual lab was affected. B. Tech. Biotechnology students and a staff f r o m o u r i n s t i t u t i o n u t i l i z e d p r e s e n t d a y computational bioinformatics tool, data sets and programming to study an issue identified as betalactam resistance in a bacterium. The students utilized accessible present day computational tool, data sets and virtual products to complete the project work. This technique for doing the final year B. Tech. project has brought about the consummation of the course effectively. This procedure of utilization of freelyavailable computational tool, information databases and programming software will benefit the students worldwide to complete project based engineering courses effectively.
