00:00:00 - 00:10:00

The "Guia de Profissões | Engenharia de Biossistemas" YouTube video introduces the Biological Systems Engineering course offered by UNESP in Brazil, a little-known yet essential degree in the modernization of agriculture. This profession focuses on developing and maintaining equipment and technologies for agriculture, aiming for greater productivity, better resource utilization, and less environmental impact. The course requires a strong foundation in physics, biology, mathematics, and technology, among other subjects. Biological Systems Engineers can find employment in various industries, including agricultural implements, herbicides, and pesticides, with companies like Monsanto and Natura expressing interest. The engineer's role includes applying theoretical knowledge to practical situations, focusing on plant and animal production, technology application in agriculture and livestock, and energy production. The speaker also discusses the Engineering of Biological Systems course at USP, with a focus on irrigation systems, and shares personal experiences and salary information. The video emphasizes the importance of understanding fluid dynamics and offers contact details for those interested in learning more.

• 00:00:00 In this section of the "Guia de Profissões" YouTube video, the focus is on the little-known course of Biological Systems Engineering offered by UNESP in Brazil. With the increasing modernization of agriculture and the implementation of new tools and oils to increase production and reduce waste, a new professional profile has emerged: the Biological Systems Engineer. This professional develops and maintains equipment and technologies for agriculture, aiming for greater productivity, better resource utilization, and less environmental impact. The course requires knowledge in areas such as physics and biology, and students study mathematics, geography, technology, biology, biochemistry, chemistry, calculus, circuit digital, microprocessors, microcontroladores, and design technology, among others. Practical classes include laboratory work, field trips, and visits to local industries. The course emphasizes the application of theoretical knowledge to practical situations, with a strong focus on both plant and animal production. The professors aim to provide a complete education by combining the knowledge of the field, automation, and agricultural implements. The course began in 2014 and has since welcomed two batches of students, with the first being offered at USP in Piraçununga. The need to keep up with technological innovations in agriculture makes this course essential for Brazil.
• 00:05:00 In this section of the "Guia de Profissões | Engenharia de Biossistemas" YouTube video, the speaker discusses the existence and benefits of engineering degrees in biossystems in both the United States and Europe. The profile of students seeking to enter this new field requires a solid foundation in understanding animal and plant characteristics to improve production and reduce losses. The engineering of biossystems already has a wide range of applications, including in industries focused on agricultural implements, herbicides, and pesticides. Companies such as Monsanto and Natura, which prioritize environmental protection, have shown interest in hiring professionals in this area. The engineer in biossystems can add value to existing engineering contributions by the Unesp campus in Tupan, which offers a 5-year engineering degree in biossystems. The interviewee, an engineer from the Hidrofito company, explains that this professional focuses on three main areas: technology application in agriculture, technology application in livestock, and energy production. The engineer's daily work primarily involves using a computer to generate maps and projects, with occasional visits to the field for irrigation projects.
• 00:10:00 In this section of the "Guia de Profissões | Engenharia de Biossistemas" YouTube video, the speaker provides an explanation of the Engineering of Biological Systems course at USP and its focus on irrigation systems. He discusses three irrigation projects, including one using a spaghetti irrigation system commonly used in greenhouses. The speaker shares his personal experience discovering the course during his college years and expresses satisfaction with his choice. He clarifies that the course is not to be confused with biotechnology and requires a solid foundation in exact sciences. The salary for an engineer in this field can vary, with an initial average of R6,000 for those preparing for the vestibular exam. The speaker also mentions the importance of understanding fluid dynamics and provides a tip for remembering the formula for buoyant force. The video also offers more information about the Engineering of Biological Systems course and contact details for viewers with questions or suggestions.
