Biological Engineering
Biological engineering applies engineering principles to biological sciences to produce biofuels, food, feed, fiber, and other agricultural products from renewable bio-resources. It also aims to protect the environment and conserve and replenish our natural resources and engineer environmentally sustainable packaging solutions for the consumer and food industries.
