Biological Option
Biological systems range in size from cells to complex groups of living organisms. Biological engineers work with these systems in areas that include biomanufacturing, biologic pharmaceuticals, biomaterials, food and fiber processing, and bioenergy.
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. Course selections provide students with the option of a pre-medical program to prepare for medical school. Graduates in this program area can pursue careers and/or additional studies in fields such as biomanufacturing, biofuels, food process engineering, animal feed production, medicine and natural resources.
