生物系统工程学通过将生命科学与工程学（从分子到生态系统）相结合，将工程学带入生活。生物系统工程师帮助创造新技术，以改善人类和动物的福祉，并保护和改善自然资源和环境。研究的主要领域是环境工程，生物加工（食品和制药），生物环境控制，生物医学工程，水土工程，农业设备和轻型结构。生物系统工程学还提供了通往医学院的绝佳途径。合作机会适用于所有生物系统工程专业的学生。
Biosystems Engineering brings engineering to life by integrating life sciences with engineering, from the molecular to the ecosystem. Biosystems engineers help to create new technologies for the well-being of humans and animals, and the preservation and enhancement of natural resources and the environment. The main areas of study are environmental engineering, bio-processing (food and pharmaceutical), bio-environmental control, bio-medical engineering, soil and water engineering, agricultural equipment, and light structures. Biosystems Engineering also provides an excellent pathway to the Faculty of Medicine. Co-op opportunities are available to all Biosystems Engineering students.
