Please fill out the information below if you are interested in being on the email list for the Food and Bioproducts Engineering Organization (FaBEO)! We send out a weekly email on Sundays with our meeting links and projects updates. We are always open to new members! Here is a quick description of our group:

We are a project-based group in the Department of Bioproducts and Biosystems Engineering that welcomes students from all majors. We typically work on two sustainability-based projects each year, but this year we will be offering some smaller projects, many of which can be done virtually. Some of our small projects this year are:
• Beeswax food wraps
• Buckthorn card making
• Making bioplastics from cornstarch
• Life cycle assessments
• Growing mushrooms out of coffee grounds
• Tinkercad practice and 3D printing
• Arduino practice
• Hydroponic salad table

Some of our larger projects in progress are:
• Designing an at home industrial grade composter for breaking down PLA
• Assessing the impacts of insulating homes in MN

We meet every Monday at 5:15 pm on Zoom. Each meeting we bring in alumni and industry professionals as speakers from possible BBE-related career paths. We also have outreach and professional development opportunities, including funded attendance to related conferences.
