What is Biotechnology engineering

Biotechnology engineering is a combination of physical, chemical and biological aspects of science. It is any technique that uses living organisms or parts of living organisms to make or modify products, improve plants or animals, or develop microorganisms for specific uses.

Biotechnology engineering is not a single science nor a single procedure, technique or process. Rather, it involves a multitude of biotechnological techniques that draw upon all the sciences, as well as engineering. Consequently, there is no single educational track that will prepare a student for a career in biotechnology.

Biotechnology can be grouped into three general categories: human health care, agriculture and animal health care and energy and environmental management. It offers an alternative to the conventional drugs replacing it with organic-based medicines that doesn’t cause side effects and may be produced in large scale within the economical cost. Besides that, biotechnology engineers are able of producing alternative organs which imply a future of no-more suffer of desperate disabled and injured people.
