Biosystems Engineering & Agricultural Systems Management
The Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering offers a Bachelor of Science in Biosystems Engineering under the auspices of the College of Engineering and a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Systems Management under the auspices of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
ABET accredited Biosystems engineers use engineering, math, and biology to design systems to manage soil and water resources and to design and develop biological and biomedical products. They work on projects involving wise use of energy, materials, biochemicals, and recyclable wastes. They combine technical knowledge, computer techniques, and control systems for a deeper understanding of agriculture and biology -- knowledge which someday may be used to design life support systems for colonies on other planets. Students may specialize in water resource engineering or biological engineering.
