Bachelor of Engineering in Engineering Science - Biotechnology

Biotechnology involves the application of various engineering disciplines to biomedical problems, requiring a sound understanding of an engineering discipline coupled with principles of biology and biomaterials. Students utilize elective courses to learn the fundamentals of biology and bioengineering. Engineering Science is the study and application of physical sciences and mathematics to support engineering design, research and technological advancement. It stands at the core of research and development in today’s rapidly evolving “high-tech” industries, and informs the complex design process necessary to respond to emerging needs, such as alternative energy generation, superdense data storage, nanotechnology-based sensors for homeland security, environmental clean up and sustainable development. In order to prepare students for employment in these high technology fields or graduate study in related areas, the Engineering Science major is both thorough enough to provide a strong background and flexible enough to respond to diverse student needs and a rapidly-evolving workplace. It provides a hands-on approach to real-world engineering problem solving, as well as opportunities for students to explore the leading edge of technological innovation with state-of-the-art tools. The major in Engineering Science (ESG) furnishes the student with a broad background in the basic engineering disciplines, and a multidisciplinary approach to both design and engineering research. It is designed for those who want a more flexible engineering education than that available from conventional engineering programs. The core program includes an extensive design experience that builds upon fundamental concepts and matches the requirements of professional practice. Courses chosen for the core program have been carefully selected to enhance student learning in research, design and communication.

First year students or freshman are those still in high school or have completed high school but have not attended college after high school. Transfer students are anyone who, after high school graduation, has enrolled in university-level courses either in the US or another country. Official High School Transcript First year students or freshman are those still in high school or have completed high school but have not attended college after high school.An essay on the topic of your choice is required and can be submitted with your application or uploaded to your StartSBU Portal.An appropriate use of an AI tool is to help you explore admission essay ideas or to refine your admission essay based on the topic selected; however, it is important that the final work be yours. AI tools should be used as a resource, similar to resources you may use at your school, e.g. a counselor or teacher. As with counselors and teachers who are not writing your essay for you, AI should not either. This guidance extends to essays written for any university admission purpose*, including essays and short answers for our University Honors Programs and Simons STEM Scholars Program.First year students or freshman are those still in high school or have completed high school but have not attended college after high school.
