Biosystems engineering provides an essential link between the biological sciences and the engineering profession. This linkage is essential for the development of production and processing systems involving biological materials that preserve our natural resource base. Students have the latitude to develop an area of specialization relating to bioenvironmental engineering, food and bioprocessing, machine systems, or controlled environment engineering. The curriculum is also ideal preparation for those students wanting to pursue a graduate or professional degree in biomedical engineering or veterinary medicine through pre-biomedical engineering and pre-veterinary medicine options. Engineers completing this program of study find employment in industries related to the production and processing of biological products. Opportunities include placement with manufacturers, consulting firms, or state and federal regulatory agencies. Biosystems engineers may work in the areas of biomedical/biotechnology engineering; environmental engineering; agricultural equipment; heating, ventilation and refrigeration equipment; food processing industries; livestock equipment and housing or greenhouse structures; and bioenergy. The program educational objectives of the biosystems engineering program are based on the intellectual and professional development of our students.
