Biological Engineering
Biological Engineering is a profession that includes the application of mathematics, chemistry, the environment, biochemistry and biotechnology. To develop new or more efficient procedures for the manufacture of chemical compounds or diagnostic methods.
That said, it includes the application of Engineering to biological and agricultural systems, both with a strong impact on the supply of food and fibers. The degree covers all areas of agricultural and biological engineering, including food engineering, postharvest handling and processing of agricultural products, development and applications of machines and energy, use and management of resources, soil and water management, structures and their environmental modifications, synthesis of products using microorganisms and food safety.
Study plan
- Interpret and apply legislation and regulations, as well as the appropriation of management tools, tools and technologies to propose sustainable alternatives in biological and environmental terms.
- Coordinates and participates in multidisciplinary teams and projects to offer solutions, develop research and innovations for the field of Biological Engineering nationally and internationally.
- Ensure effective communication in different contexts.
- It imitates biological systems to create products, modifies and controls biological systems so that they can replace or sustain chemical and mechanical processes.
- Applies its expertise to other engineering and biotechnology applications, including genetic modification of plants and microorganisms, bioprocess engineering and biocatalysis.
- It carries out studies of the environment in order to improve the methods we use today to conserve our soils, waters and other natural resources.
"INTEC / PSU: 2 + 2" starts from August of 2009, with the possibility of becoming part of program every August (1). Students admitted to the programs included in the "2 + 2" will have an automatic provisional admission in PSU. During their training cycle at INTEC, they will receive the necessary advice and follow-up to comply with the requirements demanded by this university. Upon successful completion of the first two years, they will automatically enter the chosen career. The academic title will be issued by Penn State University and the Technological Institute of Santo Domingo (INTEC)
Notes:(1) Students who enter in August will be assured to take 2 years in INTEC and 2 years in PSU. However, students who enter the institution outside of this date are not guaranteed this period of stay; it will vary according to the terms of the foreign university.
