Biosystems Engineering

About

Program details

The Bachelor of Science in Biosystems Engineering is one of five undergraduate engineering majors that can be pursued after a common year of foundation studies.

Expected duration: 4 to 5 years

Biosystems engineering emphasizes the application of engineering principles to biologically-based systems (plants, animals, humans and microorganisms). The program is designed to give students knowledge of the fundamental principles of engineering and to introduce biological concepts to enable these engineers to successfully interact with relevant professionals when solving engineering problems involving biological systems.

The program is offered in both a traditional and a co-operative education format. The department offers three specializations (Biomedical, Bioresource and Environmental) and one minor (Agribusiness). A bachelor's degree in Biosystems Engineering meets the requirements for admission to the Max Rady College of Medicine.

Learning beyond the classroom

Every student in Engineering has opportunities to apply the theoretical foundations of classroom learning to real-world design problems throughout the program.

In the Co-operative Education and Industrial Internship Program (Co-op/IIP), you can complement your study with paid work experience. Competition, representational, and special-interest societies allow you to connect with fellow students with shared interests. And student exchange programs let you complete part of your degree at one of several partner universities around the world.

Biosystems engineers help to create new technologies to improve the well-being of humans and animals, and to preserve and enhance natural resources and the environment. Our program objective is to graduate design-ready engineers prepared for professional practice by providing students with a broad foundation in the application of engineering principles to biological systems.
