Prairie View A&M University will transform its chemical engineering program by establishing a bioengineering concentration within the department. Through this project, the department envisions three general areas of undergraduate education and research: (1) Bioprocess; (2) Bioseparations and (3) Biomedical Engineering. The overarching mission of the bioengineering concentration is to provide an intellectually rigorous undergraduate educational program that emphasizes fundamental engineering and life sciences and that will prepare students to pursue further education in bioengineering or successful careers in businesses related to various bioengineering industries.The intellectual merit of this project stems from its response to a current national focus and the emergence and growth of the field of bioengineering across the United States. Prairie View A&M has positioned itself to respond. The project will benefit from recent hires in the department of chemical engineering, from partnership with two NSF Educational Research Centers, and partnership with University of Kansas, the University of Iosan and Washington University in St. Louis in a Center for the Environmental Beneficial Catalysis.Prairie View A&M University, during its 130 year history, has been at the forefront of graduating African American engineers. It is one of eleven accredited engineering programs at an HBCU, and, through this project, will become only the second to offer an option of a chemical engineering degree with a biology focus. This project will broadly impact the engineering community, as 95% of the engineering students at Prairie View A&M are African American and 59% are women.

草原视图A M大学将通过在系内建立生物工程集中来改变其化学工程项目。 通过这个项目，该部门设想本科教育和研究的三个一般领域：（1）生物工艺;（2）生物分离和（3）生物医学工程。 生物工程集中的首要使命是提供一个智力严谨的本科教育计划，强调基础工程和生命科学，并将准备学生在生物工程或相关的各种生物工程行业的企业成功的职业生涯继续深造。该项目的智力价值源于其对当前国家重点和该领域的出现和发展的回应生物工程的最新进展 Prairie View A M已将自己定位为回应。 该项目将受益于化学工程系最近的招聘，与两个NSF教育研究中心的合作伙伴关系，以及与堪萨斯大学，约山大学和华盛顿大学圣路易斯分校在环境有益催化中心的合作伙伴关系。草原视图AM大学，在其130年的历史中，一直处于非洲裔美国工程师毕业的前列。 它是HBCU的11个认可的工程项目之一，通过这个项目，它将成为第二个提供以生物学为重点的化学工程学位的项目。 该项目将广泛影响工程界，因为Prairie View A M的95%的工程专业学生是非洲裔美国人，59%是女性。
