Programme overview
Soybeans, corn, cotton, and numerous other products lining the shelves of our stores are now genetically modified. Genetic engineering stands as a monumental achievement in scientific research, offering solutions to global challenges. By employing gene transfer methods, natural evolution is accelerated, enabling the creation of plants resistant to pests. This advancement has the potential to alleviate starvation in impoverished nations and discover treatments for previously incurable diseases.
Bioengineering seamlessly blends two crucial research domains: Natural Sciences and Engineering. Professionals in this field leverage their expertise in Engineering and Technologies in Medicine and Biology.
The program’s objective is to cultivate professionals equipped with foundational knowledge in both natural sciences and engineering. These individuals are adept at applying theoretical knowledge to address practical problems effectively.
