The Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology Engineering degree at HPU involves the design, development, and application of innovative technologies, products, andor environmentally sustainable systems through the efficient use of 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 sustaining and remediation of environmental quality of life. Bioenvironmental engineering solutions may seek to address topics of concern in soil ecology, land treatments, waste treatment and management, air quality, biofuels, and ground water hydrology. Bioprocess engineering is the application of engineering principles to the design, construction, integration, andor maintenance of environmentally responsible systems for process sustainability and remediation. Bioprocess engineers may be concerned with manufacturing processes of food, chemicals, pharmaceutics, herbal supplements andor other naturalbio resources like stem cells. Other bioprocessing topics may include industrial hygiene, emergency response systems, biomaterials packagingtransporting systems etc. The HPU Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology Engineering is a four-year program. HPU Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology Engineering graduates will find employment in biotechnology industry, within sectors such as agriculture, environmental, healthcare, food manufacturing, and pharmaceutical industries.
