Biological Option
Biological systems range in size from cells to complex groups of living organisms. Biological engineers work with these systems to produce valuable products to meet critical needs for society.
The biological option fulfills the requirements for a B.S. in biological systems engineering while providing students with the flexibility to receive a strong biological emphasis in their engineering program. Appropriate course selections provide students with the option of a pre-medical program to prepare for medical school. Graduates from this program area can pursue careers in industries such as biopharmaceuticals, bioplastics, food and fiber processing, and bioenergy.
