Undergraduate Students

Students in agricultural engineering are exposed to a diverse curriculum that will equip them with skills and knowledge to create better agricultural systems.
  • Environmental and natural resources engineering. This area emphasizes water and air quality, waste systems management, and sustainable agriculture.
  • Biosystems engineering. This area combines engineering and the biological sciences in the design of new products and systems.

  • Food and process engineering. The focus of this area is on developing processes and equipment for the food industry and adding economic value to agricultural commodities.

  • Power and machinery engineering. This area challenges the creative mind to design and improve upon the next generation of road vehicles and agricultural equipment.

  • Structural and environmental engineering. The emphasis of this area is designing agricultural buildings and environmental control systems for efficient animal production or crop storage.

An agricultural systems technology curriculum involves a broad field of study in precision farming, animal environment and structures, computer operation, bioprocessing, electric and electronic operation, grain operation, energy use, and livestock production.
