Bio-Engineering Biotechnology Bachelor Programs
Introduction to Degree
Bio-Engineering/Biotechnology is a branch of engineering that deals with chemical and biological processes used to develop and make products and practices used in Medical and Health application, Food and Agro industry, Agriculture and Environment. The areas of study in Bio-Engineering/Biotechnology are quite diverse. The curriculum is developed to provide fundamental knowledge in several major study areas so that students will be well prepared for work in biotechnical field such as food industry, microbial and enzyme biotechnology industry, gene technology, plant cell technology, etc., either in industrial factories, or in public and private research institutes. The Bio-Engineering/Biotechnology Program intends to prepare engineers for life-long achievement through both education in the principles of Bio-Engineering/Biotechnology and also development of communication, teamwork, leadership and entrepreneurship skills.
Last semester Optional tracks
| Coursework | is for students who would like to conduct coursework and final project. |
| Research Thesis | is for outstanding student who would like to conduct their research project under the supervision of BE faculty members. |
| Extended Training | is designed for students who would like to participate in a long training period (for the entire semester) under a co-operative training program with companies or organizations. |
TO IMPROVE STUDENT’S SOFT SKILL (COMMUNICATION, TEAMWORK AND LEADERSHIP), THE STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO CONDUCT A MINIMUM 6 WEEKS INTERNSHIP AT A STANDARD COMPANY OR ORGANIZATION DURING THEIR VACATION TIME OF THE THIRD YEAR OR BEFORE.
