For the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Engineering

Agricultural engineering is the integration of biological and physical sciences as a foundation for engineering applications in agriculture, food systems, natural resources, the environment, and related biological systems. Agricultural engineers are involved in the design of systems that include food and bioprocess engineering, off-road equipment, bioenvironmental engineering of plant and animal facilities, water quality, and systems for the use and protection of soil and water resources. Important design constraints are economics, conservation of materials and energy, safety, and environmental quality. Graduates are employed by industry, consulting firms, and government for research, education, and manufacturing. All graduates obtain a four-year ABET-accredited bachelor of science degree from the College of Engineering and may receive an optional five-year bachelor of science degree from the College of Agriculture. By choice of electives, a student may direct his or her program toward specialization in powe r and machinery, soil and water, structures and environment, or electric power and processing or to a separate food and bioprocess engineering specialization. Individual programs are checked by departmental advisers to ensure that Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology requirements are met for any chosen specialization.

The curriculum requires 128 hours for graduation except for the specialization in food and bioprocess engineering, which requires 132 hours for graduation.

Specialization in Food and Bioprocess Engineering

Food and bioprocess engineering is the application of engineering principles to produce, preserve, process, package, and distribute foods. Food and bioprocess engineers develop, design, and construct new machinery, processes, and plants; they develop and test new products; they preserve and distribute foods; and they manage environmental factors, waste products, and energy. Food and bioprocess engineers participate in nearly every phase of food processing. Graduates are prepared for positions in a variety of industries, including food, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries. Job opportunities also exist with the government, universities, and consulting firms. Career possiblities include research and development; project, process, and plant engineering, which can include design, optimization, and construction; technical sales and service; and supervision and management. Those who continue their education in graduate school will have a strong background for further study in the sciences or engineering.
