Bioengineering is a major under engineering, with three sub-majors: bioengineering, biopharmaceuticals and synthetic biology.
The major of bioengineering is based on life science, food science and engineering, Xi genetic engineering, cell engineering, protein engineering, enzyme engineering, fermentation engineering and biological reaction engineering, etc., and can be engaged in research, production, management and design in the fields of biotechnology and engineering, genetic testing, biological products and other fields.
After graduating from this major, students will continue their studies in Xi other companies, such as Boao Biotech, Mindray Medical, Pharmaron, and BGI.
For example, Mindray Biotech is recruiting cell culture technology transfer engineers
BGI is recruiting R&D Engineers for Immunology Evaluation
Bioengineering courses include (taking Shanghai Jiao Tong University as an example):
Biopharmaceutical research includes the production and manufacturing of biochemical drugs, microbial drugs, biotechnology drugs, biological products and related biomedical products. It cultivates talents in biopharmaceutical development, production and process design, quality control and production management. After graduation, you can work in the field of biological drugs and pharmaceuticals to engage in drug research and development, production, quality management, and drug marketing.
Biopharmaceutical professional courses include (taking Xinxiang College as an example):
Synthetic biology is a new major added in 2019, which is an emerging interdisciplinary major, which is to design, transform, and resynthesize biological systems with unnatural functions, that is, to transform biological systems into efficient cell systems, and to explore the composition and regulation of life. It is mainly used in the fields of synthetic biology such as biomedicine, biomonitoring, bioagriculture, biomaterials, bioenergy, bioinformation and bioenvironmental protection. In 2023, there will be no college enrollment for this major in Chongqing.
The core courses of synthetic biology include (taking Qingdao University of Science and Technology as an example):
Bioengineering majors require candidates to have a good foundation in physics, chemistry and biology, and candidates with color blindness and color weakness are restricted from applying for such majors.
There are corresponding positions for graduates of such majors, such as quality inspection, experimenter, quality testing, pharmaceutical sales and other positions in pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical companies. However, if you want to have a deeper development in this kind of major, graduate school and doctoral study are also the best choice.
