Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology Engineering

Program Overview

The Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology Engineering degree at HPU involves the design, development, and application of innovative technologies, products and/or environmentally sustainable systems through the efficient use of biological resources. Biotechnology specializations include those related to bioenvironmental engineering and bioprocess engineering.

Bioenvironmental engineering is the application of engineering principles to the natural environment and its ecosystems, for preserving and/or improving environmental quality of life. Bioenvironmental engineering solutions may seek to address topics of concern in soil ecology, environmental protection, environmental toxicology, waste treatment and management, land treatment, air quality, renewable biofuels and ground water hydrology. Bioprocess engineering is the application of engineering principles to the design, construction, integration and/or maintenance of environmentally responsible systems with the use of biological materials for process sustainability and/or improvement.

Bioprocess engineers may be concerned with food manufacturing processes, industrial hygiene, emergency response systems, environmental systems, food, chemical or pharmaceutical processing and packaging systems, and apply innovative solutions that incorporate biomaterials or bioresources such as cells or molecules from plant or animal matter, or by-products, toward environmental and system sustainability.

The HPU Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology Engineering is a 4-year program. HPU Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology Engineering graduates will find employment in bioenvironmental or bioprocess engineering positions, within sectors such as agriculture, environmental, healthcare, food manufacturing and pharmaceutical industries.
