• Biological Engineering applies natural science and engineering principles to the biological world. 
  • The Biological Engineering Program at Dalhousie University offers a variety of fields-biological waste management, robotics, agricultural engineering, aquacultural engineering, food processing engineering, renewable energy, energy conservation in greenhouses, and pollution control.
  • The MASc degree requires 4 courses and a research thesis.
  • The typical time to complete is 2 years
  • The Biological Engineering program has focused researchi n Environmental Engineering and Biosystems Engineering. 
  • Research projects therefore encompass both specific environmental concerns and the sustainable utilization of natural resources.
  • The Department has co-operative projects with faculty members in other Universities both locally and internationally. 
  • Opportunities exist to participate in these research projects, which provide wider experience and, in which a specific component leads to Master's or Doctorate degree.
