Course development: What is Biosystems Engineering?

This course will be developed as an introductory level course to introduce the concepts and ideas of Biosystems Engineering

Perhaps as a starting point we might consider that a subject is part of BSEN if it encompasses a human enedevour that requires engineering to harness biological processes in a system context.

It is BSEN if it has:
  • biology
  • engineering
  • system
