| Description: | "The program is nationally accredited, offering both bachelor of science and graduate degrees. Once at K-State, all engineering students prepare themselves for their engineering coursework with chemistry, physics, biology, mathematics, communications, engineering science, and other basic courses throughout the freshman and sophomore years. You'll gain an understanding of basic engineering principals, a knowledge of biological sciences, and the ability to develop new concepts and methods. Due to the diversity of biological and agricultural engineering, four curriculum options are available: a general option with a chosen area of specialization, a machinery engineering option, an environmental engineering option, and a processing engineering option. Classroom instruction for all the options is enhanced by practical hands-on experience and the application of computers to class problems and exercises. The curriculum is supported by faculty members with strong academic qualifications, as well as research, extension, industry, and foreign and domestic consulting experiences. This provides a firm basis for a comprehensive education in biological and agricultural engineering. Biological systems range in size from cells to complex groups of living organisms. Biological engineers work with these systems in areas that include biomaterials, bioinstrumentation, biological systems modeling, bioremediation, food and fiber processing, and energy from biological products. The biological option fulfills the requirements for a B.S. in biological and agricultural engineering while providing students with the flexibility to receive a strong “biological” emphasis in their engineering program. Course selections also provide students with the option of a “Biology Minor”, or they can opt to meet the requirements for a pre-medical program. Graduates in this program area can pursue careers and/or additional studies in fields such as environmental engineering, biological systems engineering, biomedical engineering, food process engineering, medicine, natural resources, and related areas." |
