| Description: | "Biological Engineering (BE) is a science-based engineering discipline that integrates engineering and biological sciences in one curriculum. Biological engineers develop products and design systems or processes for improvement of human and animal heath, use of bioresources, and protection of the environment. BE is a broad-based curriculum that prepares students for careers in three areas: * Biomedical Engineering (including pre-medicine) integrates physical, chemical or mathematical sciences and engineering principles for the study of biology, medicine and physiology. It advances fundamental concepts, creates knowledge from the molecular to the organ systems levels, and develops innovative biologics, materials, processes, implants, devices, and informatics approaches for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, for patient rehabilitation, and for improving health. * Bioprocess Engineering Involves the design and development of efficient and environmentally responsible systems to economically manufacture food, chemical and pharmaceutical products from renewable biological materials such as microbial, animal and plant cells, enzymes and appropriate by-products. The Bioprocess Engineering specialty encompasses food engineering, which covers processing, packaging and distribution of food, and is expanding into the manfacture of industrial products from renewable bio-resources. Bioprocess engineers play a key role in use of knowledge from the new biotechnology revolution to provide products that improve the quality of life, while preserving the environment through bioremediation and the abatement and proper use of wastes. * Bioenvironmental Engineering The application of engineering principles with natural systems to sustain and manage environmental quality through proper system design, construction and management. The Bioenvironmental Engineering specialty integrates physical, biological and environmental sciences with engineering skills to develop economical methods for improving water and air quality, wastewater treatment, water management and soil remediation. Using their combined skills of engineering, environmental sciences and biotechnology, bioenvironmental engineers are well-qualified to address the issues that contribute to improved quality of life while preserving our environment." |
