Biological Systems Engineering (including biological engineering, environmental engineering, and machinery systems)

Biological systems engineers develop the techniques and processes to work with living systems, including microbes, plants and animals. They provide engineering input to produce and process food, fiber, energy, and pharmaceuticals. They can also emphasize in environmental protection to improve water quality, control air pollution and clean up contaminated soils.

With their creative problem solving skills, biological systems engineers apply engineering and biological principles to a diverse world of opportunities. They can design better agricultural machinery, improve the living environments of animals, and consult companies in implementing more efficient agricultural operations and processes. Biological system engineers can also impact the medical field by developing chemical products, sensors, and life-saving medical equipment. Ultimately, in this field you can enhance the sustainability and vitality of society.
