This minor provides students with a strong background in engineering and the basic sciences and their application to the manufacturing of bio-based products. Bio-based products are materials, chemicals and energy derived from renewable resources including forestry, agriculture and other biomass.
The molecular building blocks and components of biomass can be harnessed to heat our homes, run our cars, light our buildings and provide industrial and consumer products. These products include fibers and fiber-based products, paper, board, engineered wood, structural panels, wood-based composites, renewable plastics, and bio-derived chemicals and fuels.
For more information on the program requirements necessary to earn a minor in Bio-Based Products Engineering, see the University Course Catalog or download the minor form.
If interested in pursuing the minor, please contact the Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems Engineering directly.
