农业和生物系统工程理学学士

农业与生物系统工程学是应用于农业及相关行业的产品和过程的工程学。从行业征集的设计项目为学生提供了相关的“现实世界”设计经验。它提供了各种技术领域的实践知识，例如自然资源管理，灌溉和排水，水资源开发，机器动力学和设计，精密农业，农业电力，生物材料的特性和加工，牲畜的环境控制，室内空气质量，农业废物，计算机或仪器的结构，控制和处置。要获得农业和生物系统工程的科学学士学位，学生必须在ABE课程中修读和要求的课程平均成绩达到“ C”或更高，并且在毕业前参加工程学基础考试。
Agricultural and Biosystems Engineers have a passion for using engineering skills to solve agricultural problem. Agricultural Engineers design equipment and facilities that increase agricultural productivity while protecting the environment. Most employment opportunities are located regionally in production agriculture areas.<br><br>Agricultural Engineers will continue to be in high demand for as long as there is a need for food production. Agricultural engineers work in a wide variety of settings. Projects include: designing tractors and other agriculture and off-highway equipment, planning climate control systems that increase the comfort and productivity of livestock, creating systems for animal waste disposal, integrating artificial intelligence and geospatial systems, improving efficiency in fertilizer application and automating harvesting systems. Many graduates balance their career while continuing help with farming operations.<br><br>Career Opportunities<br>Designing the next generation of agriculture vehicles, which will include automation.<br>Designing irrigation and drainage systems that protect and preserve surface and ground water quality.<br>Designing innovative livestock facilities to improve animal comfort, air quality and efficiency and profitability for producers.<br>Design and manage the processing facilities to turn commodities, like corn, soybeans and milk, into high value products such as plastics, fuel, specialty feeds and high quality foods.
