Hear directly from three recent Biosystems grads as they reflect on their undergraduate experience—what inspired them, the challenges they overcame, and the hands-on learning that shaped their future.

Developing cleaner energy and advancing technology

The Department of Biosystems Engineering’s focus is to produce engineers that are globally competent in developing sustainable and resilient solutions to life’s essentials: food, water, energy, environment, and health. Undergraduate options in biosystems include bioprocess engineering, ecological engineering and forest engineering. Programs in biosystems engineering are offered in collaboration with the Samuel Ginn College of Engineering.
