Biosystems engineering graduate programs emphasize engineering applications in biological systems, covering areas like agricultural engineering, biomedical engineering, bioresource engineering, and environmental engineering. The MEng program is designed for professionals seeking an advanced degree focused on practical engineering skills. This course-based program mandates at least 30 credit hours of coursework and doesn't involve thesis research.
At the University of Manitoba's Department of Biosystems Engineering, students gain education for careers in environmental engineering, bioprocess engineering, biomedical engineering, and agriculture/natural resources. The department features an accredited undergraduate program blending biological sciences with engineering, along with graduate programs (MSc, MEng, PhD). Research focuses include grain storage ecosystems, waste biological treatment, soil phytoremediation, odor control, bioprocessing, hyperspectral imaging, production environments for plants/animals, and alternative construction methods. The M.Eng. is a 30-credit-hour course-based degree typically completed in 12-18 months.
To qualify for the Master of Engineering in Biosystems Engineering program, you must normally have a minimum of a four-year bachelor's degree in Engineering. In exceptional cases, this requirement may be waived by the department for applicants with an undergraduate degree in a related area.
