Master of Engineering in Biosystems Engineering

Graduate programs in biosystems engineering focus on applications of engineering in biological systems, including agricultural engineering, biomedical engineering, bioresource engineering and environmental engineering. The MEng degree is intended for individuals desiring an advanced degree with an emphasis on the practice of engineering.It is course-based and requires a minimum of 30 credit hours of coursework. It does not require the completion of thesis-oriented research.The Department of Biosystems Engineering at University of Manitoba provides students with educational opportunities to pursue careers in the fields of environmental engineering, bioprocess engineering, biomedical engineering, and agriculture and natural resources. The Department offers an accredited undergraduate program that integrates biological sciences into engineering, and graduate programs leading to MSc, MEng, and PhD. The research efforts in the Department of Biosystems Engineering include stored grain ecosystems, biological treatment of wastes, phytoremediation of polluted soils, management of environmental odours, bio-processing, hyperspectral imaging techniques, animal and plant production environment, and alternative building systems. The M.Eng. is a course-based degree consisting of 30 credit hours of coursework. M.Eng. - 12-18 months.
