The goal of the BSBE degree program is to provide graduates with an excellent professional engineering education in the area of complementary biological and engineering sciences so they may develop as engineering professionals capable of implementing new ideas and technologies in complex biologically based industries. Learning experiences necessary for the synthesis of knowledge across disciplines in the social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences in order to understand the ethical, environmental, and social impacts of decisions. An appreciation for continued professional development through life-long learning. The program includes engineering science courses in statistics, strength of materials, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, electric circuits and thermodynamics. Advanced engineering coursework includes design of biological processes, biomechanical system design, physical properties of biological materials, mass transport and environmental engineering.
Students also take courses in biology, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and microbiology.
Each student has the opportunity to select an area of emphasis from those listed above. Students also select an advanced science elective to complement their area of emphasis. This program of study prepares the graduate to successfully pursue registration as a professional engineer. The University of Georgia Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering.
