Bioresource engineering

Bioresource engineering is like playing with Legos - except the Legos are living things called microbes and plants, and you're trying to build machines and figure out how to use them to make things that are good for people and the planet.

It starts with finding different types of Legos (plants, microbes) and trying to figure out what they can do. You might find a Lego that can clean up polluted water, another Lego that can help crops grow better, and another Lego that can turn food waste into energy. Once you have a bunch of different Legos, you can start putting them together to build different machines that can do really cool things.

For example, you might build a machine that takes food scraps from a restaurant and feeds them to microbes that turn them into energy. Then, you could use that energy to heat the restaurant or power its lights. Or maybe you could build a machine that helps farmers grow crops more efficiently, using less water and fertilizer.

Bioresource engineering is all about using science and engineering to find new ways to use living things (like microbes and plants) to make our world a better place. It's like being a mad scientist, but in a good way!
