Biological and Ecological Engineering is the application of engineering and life-science principles and problem-solving techniques to the optimum use and sustainability of biological resources. The curriculum is engineering-based with strong emphasis on the life sciences. With undergraduate and graduate options, we bring the insights from biology and the methods of engineering together to provide the products and tools of the future.

Waste2Watergy's Hong Liu wants to help Widmer Bros. and other brewers reduce their wastewater treatment costs.
Can you imagine that the wastewater might be a source of the fuel of the future? Hard to believe, hmm? Yet it seems that it might be possible. This might shock you but electricity can be produced from wastewater, at least according to scientists from Oregon State University. In a paper issued in the renowned scientific journal, they trotted out that they had found a method which allowed them to get energy from biodegradable components of sewage with help of special bacteria.
