生物工程理学学士

生物工程课程已获得工程认证委员会的认可。完成生物工程学士学位（BE）可以为您从事传统以及新兴生物技术领域的各种职业做好准备。毕业生已接受工程职位，例如设计用于生物生产和处理的工艺设备和系统，或为环境污染的建设或生物修复实施场地准备。他们准备帮助工程系统开发可再生能源，并提高夏威夷生产的用于食品和治疗用途的天然产品的价值。越来越多的BE毕业生正在满足夏威夷不断发展的生物技术产业的需求，例如，生产用于培养人体组织以进行医学替代的系统，以及用于筛选，提取和生产夏威夷独特的天然生物群中的抗生素和其他药物化合物的系
The Biological Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission.Completing a B.S. in Biological Engineering (BE) will prepare you for a variety of careers in traditional as well as emerging biotech fields. Graduates have accepted engineering positions such as designing process equipment and systems for biological production and treatment, or implementing site preparation for construction or bioremediation of environmental contamination. They are prepared to help engineer systems to develop renewable sources of energy, and to improve the value of natural products produced in Hawaii for food and therapeutic applications. Increasing numbers of graduates from BE are meeting demands from growing biotech industries in Hawaii, for example for the production of systems for culturing human tissues for medical replacement and for screening, extracting, and producing antibiotics and other pharmaceutical compounds from Hawaii's unique natural biota. Many Bioengineers are employed with forward thinking institutions like NASA that are interested in engineering self-sustaining habitable environments in space as well as on Earth.A degree in Biological Engineering prepares students for graduate school, not only in Biological Engineering but also in Medicine, Law, and Business which all value the versatility and analytical rigor of the field. Graduates also fill vital research and regulatory needs of state and federal governments to preserve and enhance the value of our natural resources.Graduates will practice engineering in professional careers that serve the needs of society in fields such as biotechnology, environmental systems, energy, or agriculture. Graduates will contribute to their communities by continuing to engage in professional development, ethical decision making, and thoughtful discourse on contemporary issues.
