This program is for students who wish to become engineers but who also have serious interest in biological systems and how the physical and biological sciences interrelate. The biological and the engineering aspects of plant, animal, genetic, microbial, medical, food processing, and environmental systems are studied. Graduates are prepared to apply engineering, mathematical, and computer skills to the design of biological systems and facilities. Graduates find employment in design, management, research, education, sales, consulting, or international service.

The objective of the undergraduate Biological Resources Engineering program is to produce engineers with:

• The ability to design products and processes related to biological systems.
• The ability to communicate well, especially with engineers and non-engineering biological specialists.
• The ability to work successfully in teams.
• The ability to conceptually categorize information, especially biological information, in order to deal effectively with technical advances coming at a rapid pace.
• Provide engineering education with a solid grounding in fundamentals that will have lifelong value.
• Provide understanding of human behavior, societal needs and forces, and the dynamics of human efforts and their effects on the environment.
