Therefore, the nature of work in this area requires mastery of knowledge in business and economic management, enabling graduates to work both in coordinating teams and managing industrial production. Graduates are qualified to operate and design individual plants, conduct research and development of new products and processes, and work in various areas of biotechnology. The program focuses on the development of production processes based on the utilization of natural resources, aiming to generate products and services for the food, fermentation, pharmaceutical, vaccine, cosmetic, environmental, fine chemical, agriculture, livestock, forestry, and marine products industries, among others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>About the Program<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>&nbsp;<strong>Duration:<\/strong> 5 years (10 semesters) | <strong>Total hours:<\/strong> 3,705h&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>&nbsp;<strong>Modality:<\/strong> On-campus&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>&nbsp;<strong>Schedule:<\/strong> Full-time&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>&nbsp;<strong>Degree awarded:<\/strong> Bioprocess and Biotechnology Engineer&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Year of creation:<\/strong> 2000&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>&nbsp;<strong>Location:<\/strong> Centro Polit\u00e9cnico Campus \u2013 Curitiba, Paran\u00e1, Brazil&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Professional field:<\/strong> The Bioprocess and Biotechnology Engineer applies engineering principles to biological sciences to develop, optimize, scale up, and manage processes that transform raw materials (usually natural or renewable resources) into high value-added products. This professional works from laboratory research to full-scale industrial production, across a wide range of sectors. Proficiency in business and economic management is essential for leading teams and ensuring both the technical and financial viability of such processes.
