College: College of Engineering

Duration: 4 Years

Description: A degree from the Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Engineering trains engineers in two areas: biotechnology and food. The program provides a unique combination of engineering and technological fields and areas of natural and life sciences, in particular, biotechnology. Working with biological materials is common to both fields, and provides a basis for core courses in engineering and technology.

The program is designed to prepare graduates for work in different fields of biotechnology or food engineering – in diverse industries that incorporate high-technology and are based on biotechnological and biochemical processes. Graduates can be employed, among other fields, in the food industry or areas such as pharmaceuticals; cosmetics; environmental protection; standards institutes, and food and drug regulation.... [-]

The food industry is the largest business sector in the world. Research and development of new products is important in order to maintain an effective competitive position and respond to consumer demand. The study of food technology is what supplies the knowledge for this ongoing process.

The bachelor (BSc) in Food Technology is a three-year full-time programme. The first year includes four subjects specific to food technology, and the remainder are mostly core subjects in mathematics, chemistry, physics and biology. The second year consists primarily of specialist subjects in food technology. The third year includes only one compulsory subject, and the rest of the year is made up of electives and the BSc thesis.... [-]

The Bachelor’s Degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare can be followed by undertaking studies in post-graduate education or alternatively being employed within the industry.

The course includes specialist modules and practical experience with a range of domestic and companion species, enabling students to understand the behavior and welfare of many different animals, both in captivity and in the wild. Students are taught at Reaseheath throughout Year 1 utilizing the zoo-licensed facilities on campus, with subsequent study in Years 2 and 3 being undertaken exclusively at the University of Chester.

Work in the field will expand your knowledge of animal behavior, and there is an opportunity for dissertation work which will allow you to work with lecturing staff on relevant unique research projects.... [-]

Timber industry engineers are welcome in the primary and secondary processing of wood (sawmills, furniture factories, wood construction companies, etc.), in research institutes and universities globally.

Earn your BS in Biology while studying scientific fundamentals and exploring the foundation of all living things. Enroll in Bay Path University’s Biochemistry program.

As a student of biochemistry at Bay Path University, you will delve into the chemical and molecular aspects of life sciences.

Working in a laboratory setting, you collaborate with others to unlock the secrets of cells, proteins, DNA, and other molecules. Ultimately, your focus could be on the study of cancer, diabetes, or other specific diseases affecting humans, animals, and plants. Your results will contribute to the information bank for the diagnoses and treatments of these ills, improving our world.... [-]

Built on a longstanding Adirondack tradition, forestry education at Paul Smith’s College equips students with a foundation of technical, field-based and applied education that combines theory and practice. Bachelor’s degrees are offered in three concentrations:

This track of study provides students with a variety of animal science courses as well as important courses in agriculture so that they will be better qualified for the job market. The purpose of this program is to prepare students to work with livestock on farms and ranches or to obtain positions in the livestock industry or related fields.

Former students have taken positions at livestock farms, dairies, ranches, equestrian centers, experiment stations, quarantine stations, veterinary clinics, and zoos. Employment opportunities also exist with government agencies and with livestock and feed companies.

As a biochemistry major at Siena, you’ll learn from faculty members who are teacher-scholars. They run vibrant undergraduate research programs while remaining student-centered, emphasizing student participation and engagement both in and out of the classroom. Our department is housed in Siena’s state-of-the-art Morrell Science Center, with additional laboratories and classroom space in the adjacent Roger Bacon Hall.

The Bachelor of Science degree in Biotechnology aspires to develop professionals with competencies to search for solutions into society’s problems, by applying the knowledge and skills of Biotechnology.

The curriculum includes the development of skills for the appropriate administration of modern technologies applied to life in the production of consumer goods.

The Program promotes the development of responsible decision-making related to the environment, bioethics, health and industry. Graduates of this Program will be able to work in the field of biotechnology or in research. They may, also, aspire to continue graduate or professional studies.

The BSc program in Agricultural Engineering aims to train agricultural engineers capable of realizing production, leadership, controlling and organizational work in agricultural companies; performing jobs in enterprises dealing with the processing and marketing of agricultural products; and completing professional management tasks in connection with agriculture. Basic theoretical fields such as botany, zoology, mathematics, economics, business law, international agriculture, and safety at work build a foundation for professional courses including crop production, horticulture, plant protection, animal husbandry, animal nutrition, animal health, farm business management and business organization, among others....
