Programme Structure

The BIOE program at N.C. A&T has two concentrations: Bioprocess Engineering and Natural Resources Engineering:

B.S. Biological Engineering, Bioprocess Engineering track − Bioprocess Engineering focuses on plant and microbial cell biology, and biomanufacturing techniques to produce biofuels (e.g., ethanol and biodiesel), bioproducts (e.g., proteins and biodegradable polymers), biochemicals (e.g., biodetergents and adhesives) and pharmaceuticals (e.g., vaccines and antibiotics).

B. S. Biological Engineering, Natural Resources Engineering track − Natural Resources Engineeringinvolves soil and water conservation engineering; water resources management which includes drainage, irrigation, natural resources management, or environmental/ecological restoration; water quality, surface and sub-surface hydrology, and land management. Graduates are trained to design and evaluate biological systems to enhance human well-being and environmental health.
