Integrated PhD Program in Biosystems Engineering
General Description
1
Brief History
Biosystems Engineering Degree Program was developed mainly in the United States of America and began to provide training. In addition, Biosystems Engineering comes forward in countries such as Canada and Australia whose educational systems close to USA. The transition to Biosystems Engineering program is a more recent in Europe. Despite this, a few universities in some European Countries such as Ireland (Dublin), Belgium (Leuven), Spain (Barcelona-Catalunya) and Slovenia (Maribor) teach under the name of Biosystems and similar engineering.
In our country, the relevant departments in Uludag University (Bursa), Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam University (Kahramanmaras) and Gaziosmanpasa University (Tokat) established first Biosystems Engineering Departments in 2009 and they began admitting students in the academic year 2009-2010. Following these universities, Namik Kemal University (Tekirdag), Yuzuncu Yil University (Van), Bozok University (Yozgat), Mustafa Kemal University (Hatay), Erciyes University (Kayseri), Bingol University (Bingol), Adiyaman University (Adıyaman), Nigde University (Nigde) and Cyprus International University (Nicosia, TRNC) have initiated the programme under Biosystems Engineering.
