The principal objective of the biosystems engineering program is to educate and prepare students for a wide range of engineering endeavors involving biological entities. Biosystems engineers work at the interface between engineering and life sciences and must be knowledgeable in both disciplines. In addition to the common objectives of all engineering programs listed on page 66, Biosystems Engineering students should achieve familiarity with all biosystems concentrations, experience an interdisciplinary education, and develop a career goal of professional recognition and licensure.
Students develop specialization in one of three concentrations.
