Do you want to be part of the solution?
Humanity’s growing demand for food, fibre and fuel within the earth’s capacity for sustainable production is often viewed as a “wicked challenge” – a challenge that requires an understanding of both technology and biological systems. The discipline of Biosystems Engineering is founded on the application of engineering principles applied to problems involving biological systems. For Canada to contribute to a sustainable future for our planet, there is an increasing need for engineers educated in the fundamentals of the Biosystems Engineering discipline.
