Bioresource Engineering is an interdisciplinary program that integrates engineering, design and the biological sciences. It is a unique profession that applies engineering principles to the enhancement and sustainability of the world’s natural resources. Bioresource Engineers seek solutions to problems that involve plants, animals and the environment.

As a Bioresource Engineer you will have a tremendous number of opportunities available to you, all related to systems in which biological and technological components act together. Just a few examples are:

Water resources development at the watershed or local level
Ecosystems
Agricultural machines or animal housing
Golf course design
Remote sensing and area planning
Food production
Fermentation

Of course, we fully recognize that no one can be an expert on everything. By choosing one of our five optional career streams, you can concentrate more on some aspects of Bioresource Engineering than on others:

BioEnvironmental Engineering
Soil and Water Engineering
Ecological Engineering
Food and Bioprocess Engineering
Agricultural Engineering

Over the course of 3.5 years (U1, U2, U3 and U4), students will complete a 113-credit degree. For students from high schools outside Quebec, a 30-credit freshman year (called U0) will be added at the start of your studies.

Our program is accredited by:

The Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board (CEAB): graduates from the Bioresource Engineering program automatically qualify for membership in the Ordre des Ingénieurs du Québec (OIQ), after meeting various conditions such as passing the French language test, paying appropriate fees, etc. This corresponds directly to "Professional Engineer" status in other Canadian provinces and territories, and most American states.

The Ordre des Agronomes du Québec (OAQ): graduates who select the Professional Agronomy option of the Bioresource Engineering program qualify to register as Professional Agronomists with the OAQ, in addition to being eligible to register with the Ordre des Ingénieurs du Québec as Professional Engineers. Professional Agronomists have expertise in the science and technology of producing and using plants for food, fuel, fiber, and reclamation.
