The Bachelor of Science in Biosystems Engineering is a multidisciplinary educational program focusing on biological systems and agricultural technologies. This program applies engineering principles to the understanding and improvement of biological systems. Students are provided with the skills to work with biological systems such as plants, animals and microorganisms and to understand the environmental factors that affect these systems. They also acquire applied knowledge and skills in areas such as sustainable agriculture, food processing, bioenergy and environmental engineering.
The academic content of the program is enriched with basic sciences (biology, chemistry, physics) and engineering courses (mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer engineering). Students learn the basic concepts in the field and gain in-depth knowledge of biosystems engineering applications, biotechnology, waste management, water resources management and agricultural technologies. The curriculum of the program places great emphasis on reinforcing theoretical knowledge through laboratory work, project-based learning and field applications.
Teaching methods include lectures, group work, seminars and laboratory experiences. Students develop the skills necessary to solve real-world problems using modern teaching materials and technologies. Furthermore, industrial visits and interaction with professional engineers provide students with knowledge of current practices in the industry.
In terms of career opportunities, biosystems engineers can work in areas such as agriculture, food processing, environmental protection, bioenergy production and sustainable resource management. Graduates can be employed in public and private sectors, research laboratories, consulting firms and international organizations.
The program offers students the opportunity to gain practical experience through internship and practice opportunities. These experiences help students develop their skills in solving real-world problems related to the industry and expand their professional networks. Thanks to these experiences, students can make more informed career choices after graduation.
