"Biological engineers deal with structures, machinery, energy, labor, land, water, waste, energy and resource variables related to the efficient creation of products and processes to fill human needs. Biological engineers have:
In your community: Making medicines, dyes, glue, fertilizer, pesticides and paint from plant and animal products requires an intimate understanding of biology, chemistry and the ways things interact. What you may think of as a traditional practice - such as growing corn, squash and beans together - is actually a form of biosystems engineering"(TYPES OF ENGINEERING).
- Developed new sources of pharmaceuticals like insulin
- Found new uses for naturally occurring fibers
- Studied ways to convert grass, woodchips and garbage into automobile fuel
- Developed sensor systems to detect nutrients in crops

"Agricultural engineers specialize in developing ways to improve our farms and our food supply for the future.Agricultural engineers are involved in:
In your community: First Nations have farmed the land on Turtle Island for thousands of years, developing reliable and natural means of fertilization and pest control which modern scientists are only beginning to understand.
Do you want to help wheat grow higher, produce larger fruits and vegetables, ensure that livestock remain healthy? Maybe you'd be interested in figuring out ways to bring agriculture to the North. As an agricultural engineer you can use traditional practice and knowledge to help find modern solutions that improve the way food is grown, produced and transported to your family's dinner"(TYPES OF ENGINEERING).
- The design and manufacture of new machinery for harvesting crops
- The development of irrigation systems for farms in dry regions
- The planning and design of structures for plants, animals and crops storage
