What academic strengths does a student need to become a Biological Systems Engineer?
Mathematics and science form the basic underlying principles in all of engineering. So, first and foremost, one must be comfortable working with math and science to be successful in any engineering program. Biological Systems Engineering is unique, however, in its use of the biological sciences in addition to physics and chemistry. Thus, an interest in basic biology and subjects such as genetics, physiology, microbiology, or ecology is very helpful.
