The Biosystems Engineering B.S. degree program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012 - telephone (410) 347-7700
............................PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
The overall purpose of the MSU biosystems engineering undergraduate program is to prepare graduates who will integrate and apply principles of engineering and biology to a wide variety of socially important problems. To achieve that purpose, the primary objectives of the biosystems engineering program are to prepare graduates to:
- identify and solve problems at the interface of biology and engineering, using modern engineering techniques and the systems approach, and
- analyze, design, and control components, systems, and processes that involve critical biological components.
Additionally, the biosystems engineering program is designed to help graduates succeed in diverse careers by developing a professional foundation that includes vision, adaptability, a practical mindset, effective communication skills, the ability to work in cross-disciplinary teams, an appreciation for global, economic, and societal issues, and a commitment to continuing professional growth and ethical conduct.
(Approved by the Biosystems Engineering faculty, student group, and Industry Advisory Board, April 2004)
