After graduation, BSEN alumni will share the attribute of improving the organization for which they work, and the community and country in which they live. They will do this whether they are involved in biomedical engineering, environmental and water resources engineering, food or bioproducts engineering, or other professional endeavors such as business, law, or medicine. In doing so, they will:

1. provide innovative and effective solutions to problems in a variety of work environments through the use of their unique background in biological systems engineering and the biological sciences;

2. look beyond components in isolation thereby providing holistic solutions to complex issues involving, for example, interactions at the ecosystem, organism, organ, cellular or subcellular level;

3. think logically using appropriate elements of mathematics, science and engineering to develop, manage and interpret data, to correctly interpret new research findings and, to design new systems for the benefit of society;

4. successfully integrate technical knowledge with communication and interpersonal skills to lead and work effectively in teams, and to articulate the role of engineering decisions in the workplace, community and world;

5. responsibly address issues such as health and safety, personal and professional ethics, cultural diversity, as well as the social, environmental and global impacts of their work;

6. continue their personal growth, education, and professional development through various opportunities provided by institutions, professional societies and other venues; and

7. remain involved in the department as active alumni who promote the biological systems engineering program and discipline, and mentor future generations of engineers.
