The "threads" of Biosystems Engineering
The
core concepts, or threads, of BSEN are variously understood by those
within the discipline, but have never been unequivocally defined due to
the comparative youth of the discipline. This makes communication and
teaching difficult compared to other well established engineering
subjects. The Atlantis POMSEBES project and Erasmus Network ERABEE
have worked towards defining core curriculum for the discipline, but
this needs to be taken further by defining the threads that link
courses together. These may include concepts such as defining
biological constraints; sustainability assessment; biological
thermodynamics and systems analysis. Once defined, these threads will
be available for global development of the BSEN .
