Biological Engineering will prepare students to solve technological problems in systems that involve microorganisms, plants, and animals.
As a biological engineering graduate, students will apply their technical expertise to solve engineering problems by designing components, processes, and systems. Graduates will communicate and work effectively in teams as well as have adequate knowledge in inorganic/organic chemistry, biochemistry, biological/biomedical science, and environmental science. Graduates will be able to apply their educational skills in a broad context related to an ever-changing world.
Given the diversity of the biological engineering discipline, students will have opportunities to work with consulting and industrial firms in a variety of fields including bioprocessing, bioenergy, environmental, food production, agricultural, pharmaceutical, and biomedical. The diverse expertise makes biological engineers exceptionally valuable in today’s challenging world.
