What does BEE mean in MILITARY

BEEOs evaluate risks and hazards posed by the environment, both from natural and human sources, in order to safeguard people's health. They may also conduct studies that look at how government regulations impact public health.

Yes, BEEOs require a combination of specialized training and experience in bioenvironmental engineering. This includes an understanding of engineering principles such as systems analysis and design, contamination control, ventilation system design, hazardous materials transportation safety and more.

Bioenvironmental engineering officers typically hold either a Bachelor's or Master's degree with a concentration or major in bioengineering or environmental engineering. Additionally, they may have other certifications such as professional engineer licensure or qualifications such as Prior Service membership with the U.S. Air Force Reserves or National Guard depending on their job responsibilities.

A Bioenvironmental Engineering Officer (BEEO) may perform duties related to air pollution control systems, environmental hazard analysis/mitigation, industrial hygiene programs, occupational health services/programs management, workforce surveillance/evaluation programs and chemical-biological defense programs management among other tasks related to environmental science and biological engineering.

Individuals interested in becoming certified as a Bioenvironmental Engineering Officer need to complete an accredited program specific to bioengineering or environmental health through an undergraduate or master's degree program along with additional certifications if applicable for their job responsibilities (such as certification from the National Institute for Occupational Safety & Health). Additionally they must pass the board exam administered by the American Board of Bioengineering/Environmental Health Engineers or equivalent boards recognized by the Global Alliance for Biological Engineering Professionals (GABEP).
