The BE program allows students to choose electives that lead to several concentration areas as it uniquely prepares them to solve 21st century biological and agricultural engineering problems. T he Biological Engineering degree has four concentration areas Agricultural , Biomedical , Bioprocessing and Environmental . The program places emphasis on basic science and engineering courses, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, biology, materials, and thermodynamics, providing a solid foundation for application of engineering principles to biological systems. Environmental engineering student checks a drain system in the field.
Biomedical student tests a bed lift design for body weight support.
Three agricultural engineering students work in the BAE shop area designing tractor equipment parts. An electronic-nose is used to test odor levels of tuna samples by two bioprocessing students. Students learn to analyze and develop solutions to unique engineering problems of biological and agricultural systems. Scientific and engineering principles are applied to problems in concentration areas chosen by the students. The degree of opportunities- Conceptualizing, designing, and developing systems for the application of engineering principles to biological systems while maintaining and improving the environment provide many opportunities for graduates of the biological engineering curriculum.
