生物工程哲学博士

生物工程是结合科学和工程原理的新兴学科。该部门是研究密集型机构，专注于解决当前问题的研究应用。教职员工在以下领域拥有专业知识：健康与医学，环境和可再生能源。该系的研究范围包括开发生物柴油和生物塑料（从藻类到开发非侵入性的生物纳米技术），这些技术可以帮助发现健康问题并最终解决疾病。该系的教员是国家认可的。该系甚至是USTAR教授的家。USTAR职位由犹他州发起的一项计划提供资金，该计划旨在招募最优秀的研究人员来解决能够解决当前问题并可能导致该州经济发展的问题。
Biological engineering is an emerging discipline that combines science and engineering principles.The department is research intensive and focuses on the application of research to solve current problems. Faculty members have expertise in the following broad areas: health and medicine, the environment, and renewable energy. Research ranges from developing biodiesel and bioplastics from algae to developing non-invasive bionanotechnologies that could help detect health problems before they progress to terminal diseases. Faculty members in the department are nationally recognized. The department is even home to a USTAR professor. USTAR positions are funded by an initiative from the state of Utah aimed at bringing in the best researchers to address issues that solve current problems and can lead to economic development in the state.
