Biotechnology engineering combines technology and biological sciences to create or alter products to benefit human health and society at large. In addition to healthcare, biotechnology is also employed in agriculture, food production, environmental management, and industrial processes.
Addressing Global Challenges: A graduate in biotechnology engineering can implement solutions for worldwide challenges, including healthcare, agriculture, and environmental sustainability. A biotechnology engineering degree opens doors to careers in the development of new drugs, medical devices, and diagnostic tools.
Career Opportunities: Graduates can work in pharmaceuticals, healthcare, agriculture, food processing, environmental management, and more.
Sustainable Agriculture: Graduates have the opportunity to revolutionise the agricultural sector as well. They can contribute to crop improvement, pest resistance, and the development of bio-fertilizers.
Biotechnology is a course that incorporates engineering sciences and natural sciences to solve problems and develop/create various products utilizing living organisms or cells, thereof and molecular analogues.
The engineering program focuses on building strong fundamental foundations of various core domains of biotech while inculcating the skills required to build, modify, and execute the required techniques in biological and biochemical processes. It also imbibes the knowledge and skill necessary to manage, store and compute biological data and apply the theoretical knowledge to scale laboratory processes to industrial requirements. This requirement needs a well-rounded approach in concurrently learning theoretical fundamentals, mathematical concepts, as well as laboratory experience that is specifically covered in the engineering curriculum.
We impart the necessary knowledge and skills to our biotech graduates such that they are industry ready. The wide coverage of the curriculum as well as targeted training by the department enables our graduates to either pursue their career in the sector of their choosing or plan for specialization by undertaking post-graduation in India or abroad.
Students who are passionate in pursuing the career in the life sciences or adjacent fields will find an engineering undergraduate degree will open a world of opportunities to them.
