Shafii, Ph.D., Lecturer Mission. The Department of Biological and Agricul- tural Engineering is dedicated to the advancement of the discipline of biological engineering and to the conduct of research under its many diverse areas of application. Biological engineering or biological sys- tems engineering is the biology-based engineering discipline that integrates life sciences with engineer- ing in the advancement and application of funda- mental concepts of biological systems from molecular to ecosystem levels. Within this discipline, our faculty members work in a range of research areas including biotechnology engineering, agricul- tural and natural resources engineering, and food engineering. The mission of the Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering is to discover, develop, apply, and disseminate knowledge for the sustain- able production, management, and use of biological materials, and to educate students for this work. Objectives. We educate students in the fundamen- tals of mathematics, physical and biological sci- ences, and engineering, balanced with the application of principles to practical problems. We teach students to develop skills for solving engineer- ing problems in biological systems through use of appropriate analysis, synthesis, and engineering design techniques. We prepare students for entry into engineering practice and graduate education, as well as for engagement in life-long learning. We foster the ability of our students to collaborate and communicate effectively, and provide an awareness of the importance of economics, professional respon- sibility, and the environment. Students graduating with a B.S. degree in Biological Systems Engineering from UC Davis are prepared to: • Apply life sciences in engineering at the biochem- ical, cellular, organism, and ecosystem levels, • Solve biological systems engineering problems while employed in the private or public sector, • Consider the environmental and social conse- quences of their engineering activities, • Communicate effectively with professional col- leagues and public constituencies, • Act in an ethical manner, and • Continue their education in a changing profes- sional world. The Biological Systems Engineering Undergraduate Program Biological Systems Engineering is an engineering major that uses biology as its main scientific base. With rapid advances in biology and biotechnology, engineers are needed to work side by side with life 268 Engineering: Biological and Agricultural Fall 2011 and on Revised General Education (GE): AH=Arts and Humanities; SE=Science and Engineering; SS=Social Sciences; ACGH=American Cultures; DD=Domestic Diversity; OL=Oral Skills; QL=Quantitative; SL=Scientific; VL=Visual; WC=World Cultures; WE=Writing Experience Pre-Fall 2011 General Education (GE): ArtHum=Arts and Humanities; SciEng=Science and Engineering; SocSci=Social Sciences; Div=Domestic Diversity; Wrt=Writing Experience Quarter Offered: F=Fall, W=Winter, S=Spring, Su=Summer; 2017-2018 offering in parentheses scientists to bring laboratory developments into com- mercial production or field application. Industries in bioenergy, bioprocessing, biotechnology, food pro- cessing, aquaculture, agriculture, plant production, animal production, and forest production all need engineers with strong training in biology. The height- ened concern for environmental resources and their preservation generates many engineering opportuni- ties as society strives to maintain balance within the biosphere. In the freshman and sophomore years, the Biological Systems Engineering major requires sequences of courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, engi- neering science, and humanities, similar to all accredited engineering programs. In addition to these course sequences, the Biological Systems Engi- neering major also requires courses in the biological sciences. Exclusive of General Education units, the Biological Systems Engineering major requires a minimum of 161 units (90 units in the lower division; 71 units in the upper division). Biological Systems Engineering graduates take jobs in the biotechnology, energy, food, and medical industries; work for state and federal agencies; or pursue graduate work. Students also can use the pro- gram as a pathway to professional schools in medi- cine, veterinary medicine, dentistry, or business. The Biological Systems Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Com- mission of ABET; see http://www.abet.org. Students are encouraged to adhere carefully to all prerequisite requirements. The instructor is autho- rized to drop students from a course for which stated prerequisites have not been completed.

The upper division require- ments are listed following the areas of specializa- tion: • Biotechnology Engineering • Agricultural and Natural Resources Engineering • Food Engineering Areas of Specialization Biotechnology Engineering. Biotechnology involves the handling and manipulation of living organisms or their components to produce useful products. Students specializing in biotechnology engineering integrate analysis and design with applied biology to solve problems in renewable energy production, large-scale biotechnical produc- tion, control of biological systems, and bio-based materials production. Students may focus on the mechanisms and pro- cesses for the sustainable production and use of energy from renewable biological sources. Students may also focus on the challenges in scaling up labo- ratory developments to industrial production, includ- ing production, packaging, and application of biocontrol agents for plant pests and diseases; genetically altered plants; plant materials and food products; and microbial production of biological products, tissue culture, and bioremediation. Stu- dents may also focus on the development of biosen- sors to detect microorganisms and specific substances, useful in the development of products based on biological processes and materials. Biotechnical engineers work in the biotech industries on process design and operation, scale-up, and instrumentation and control.

With the world population expected to grow over the next several decades, major concerns lie with meeting the needs of agriculture and with the sustainable use of limited natural resources. Students specializing in agricultural and natural resources engineering combine analysis and design with applied biology to solve problems in producing, transporting, and processing biological products leading to food, fiber, energy, pharmaceuticals, and other human needs. Students may focus on automation and control of field operations and engineered systems, robotics, and on the biomechanics of humans and animals. They may also focus on engineering issues related to the sustainable use of natural resources, particularly energy and water, but also land and air. Agricultural and natural resources engineers design machinery, processes, and systems for productive plant and ani- mal culture, while improving overall sustainability. Agricultural and natural resources engineers are employed as practicing professionals and managers with agricultural producers, equipment manufactur- ers, irrigation districts, food processors, consulting engineering firms, start-up companies, and govern- ment agencies. Graduates with interest in biome- chanics work in industry on the design, evaluation, and application of human-centered devices and sys- tems, as well as on improving worker health and safety.

Producing the food we eat every day constitutes the largest industrial sector of the U.S. economy, and this production involves the work of engineers in a wide variety of food indus- tries, both at home and around the world. Students specializing in food engineering design food pro- cesses and operate equipment and facilities for pro- duction of high quality, safe, and nutritious food with minimal impact of these operations on the environ- ment. Students learn to apply engineering principles and concepts to handle, store, process, package, and distribute food and related products. In addition to engineering principles, the food engineering special- ization provides an understanding of the chemical, biochemical, microbiological, and physical charac- teristics of food. Students study concepts of food refrigeration, freezing, thermal processing, drying, and other food operations, food digestion, and health and nutrition in food system design. Food engineers work as practicing engineers, scien- tists, and managers in the food industry.
