Biological Engineering
Protecting People, Animals and the Environment
Biological engineers ensure that we have the necessities of life: safe and plentiful food to eat, pure water to drink, clean fuel and energy sources, and a safe, healthy environment in which to live. More specifically, biological engineering is the application of engineering principles to address challenges in the life sciences which includes fields of biology, ecology and medicine.
The U of S Advantage
Our classes are based upon core engineering subjects for the first two years, then increasingly specialized in technical and design-based principles in the third and fourth years. The undergraduate program presents a challenging and interesting workload. We offer the advantage of small, intense classes, large lab facilities, superb faculty and excellent support staff.
Career Opportunities
With a degree in biological engineering, you can have an exciting career in many areas, including the following:
- agricultural machinery
