Biosystems engineers utilize fundamental sciences, mathematics, engineering principles, and technology to develop sustainable solutions for biologically complex challenges. These professionals focus on securing a safe food supply while optimizing natural resource use and environmental conservation. Their work spans diverse fields including agricultural production, food processing, biological material conversion, water and waste management, environmental preservation, and various biological issues requiring engineering solutions. The department provides graduate programs leading to Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees in biosystems
engineering.
The Master of Science program in biosystems engineering equips students with specialized knowledge beyond undergraduate levels for advanced professional roles. Students can choose between Plan A (thesis track) and Plan B (non-thesis track). Plan A focuses on research methodologies, requiring students to conduct, evaluate, and publish original research under faculty supervision. Plan B caters to those seeking enhanced skills through advanced coursework without pursuing research-oriented careers.
