生物系统工程学学士学位

生物系统工程（BSEN）是生物系统工程系提供的两个工程学位课程之一。BSEN的学生强调生物医学工程，生物能源与食品工程或环境与水资源工程这三个领域之一的工程课程工作。生物系统工程师可以研究微传播组织培养的系统，开发生物材料和生物纤维，设计用于生产食物和生物燃料的设备和工艺，或者设计用于执行微创手术的设备。还有另一个负责开发生物传感器和成像设备，以检测人类疾病，测量植物和动物的压力，或控制温室和动物设施的环境。生物系统工程师还可以参与解决与废物管理，水质和可持续能源生产相关的环境问题。毕业生的工作机会来自行
Biological systems engineering (BSEN) is one of two engineering degree programs offered in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering. BSEN students emphasize engineering course work in one of three areas, biomedical engineering, bioenergy and food engineering, or environmental and water resources engineering. A biological systems engineer could work on systems to micropropagate tissue culture, develop biomaterials and biofibers, design equipment and processes for producing foods and biofuels, or design devices for performing minimally invasive surgery. Still another could be responsible for developing biological sensors and imaging devices for detecting diseases in humans, for measuring plant and animal stress, or for controlling the environment of greenhouses and animal facilities. Biological systems engineers could also be involved in resolving environmental issues associated with waste management, water quality and sustainable energy production. Job opportunities for graduates are available in industry, public agencies, consulting, and private practice. A significant number of graduates pursue graduate school or studies in medical or law school.
