Why this degree?

The purpose of this degree program is to produce graduates who are able to identify new discoveries and apply engineering analyzes to develop sustainable solutions to complex engineering problems. An additional goal is to produce graduates conduct independent cutting edge research in biosystems engineering and that can clearly communicate research findings to technical and non-technical audiences.
