The Future Home of ABE

It is an exciting time to be a part of the Agricultural and Biosystems
Engineering Department at Iowa State. The ABE department is planning
a major expansion into a new building!  Once completed, the new facility
will hold all ABE faculty together in the same building, which has not been
possible for many years.  The building will facilitate teaching, research,
extension and international efforts.  Read more...

Message from the Department Chair

Greetings to our alumni and friends of ABE!  I am proud that the ABE Department program in agricultural engineering was ranked in the top 5 in the nation by the U.S. News and World Report for 2008.  Other good news is that our agricultural engineering program received full re-accreditation by ABET in 2007 for another six years. The ABE family thanks all those who helped ABE to be very best in pursuing academic excellence.

Ramesh Kanwar, Department Chair
