MEng Biological and Ecological Engineering

Course Overview

The Biological and Ecological Engineering program operates at the dynamic interface of life sciences and engineering, focusing on the sustainable use of biological resources. This engineering-based curriculum is grounded in life science principles, preparing students to solve complex challenges in bioprocess and water resources engineering.

Key Program Highlights

• Dual focus on two major research thrusts: Bioprocess Engineering and Water Resources Engineering.
• Cutting-edge research in areas like biosensors, microbial fuel cells, bio-based fuels, and nanosensors.
• Advanced study of hydrologic modeling, groundwater systems, and irrigation optimization for water sustainability.
• Application of AI technologies and geographical information systems (GIS) to agricultural and ecological analysis.
• Hands-on learning in biological systems modeling, waste treatment, and non-point source pollution control.
