    To know about us
    and life around us,
    Wellness
    WHY SHOULD AN ENGINEER
    STUDY BIOLOGY?
    Engineering: the action of working
    artfully to bring something about,
    To find solutions to needs/problems
    WHY SHOULD AN ENGINEER
    STUDY BIOLOGY?
    Sustainability
    Biology has found already
    sustainable methods
    Life forms have evolved and
    coexisted in harmony with their
    surroundings for millions of years
    If we need solutions, we just need to
    look at how biology does it
