Program Description
The Department of Biological Systems
Engineering offers graduate programs in
five areas.
- Biomass processing and bioproducts
engineering: Develop engineering processes to
produce useful, high-value products from the
byproducts of agricultural operations and other
sources of plant biomass.
- Food engineering: The application of
engineering to the production of safe,
nutritious food.
- Land, Air, Water Resources and
Environmental Engineering (LAWREE):
Engineering applications related to hydrologic
processes at the field level or at the scale of
large watersheds. Application of
engineering and biological principles to the
study of the environmental impact of managed
biological systems, including agriculture,
confined-animal operations, aquaculture, and
natural resources.
- Bio-environmental engineering: Application
of engineering and biological principles to the
study of the environmental impact of managed
biological systems, including agriculture,
confined-animal operations, aquaculture, and
natural resources.
- Agricultural Automation: Develop
engineering solutions for processes and
equipment to meet the needs in specialty crop
production
