Undergraduate Study
For the undergraduate curriculum in agricultural engineering leading
to the degree bachelor of science, see College of Engineering, Curricula.
This curriculum is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission
of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.
Agricultural Engineering Curriculum Educational Objectives: The
goal of the curriculum in agricultural engineering is to train men
and women to integrate basic physical and biological sciences through
application of engineering fundamentals and design to systems for
production, processing, storage, handling, distribution, and use
of food, feed, fiber and other biomaterials, and management of related
natural resources worldwide.
To achieve this goal, the ABE Faculty, with input from curriculum
constituencies, has established the following educational objectives
for the agricultural engineering curriculum:
1. To produce graduates competent in methods of analysis involving
use of mathematics, fundamental physical and biological sciences,
engineering sciences, and in computational skills needed for their
future practice of agricultural engineering.
2. To produce graduates with the skills necessary in the design
process, including abilities necessary to think creatively, to formulate
problem statements, to communicate effectively, to synthesize information,
and to evaluate and implement problem solutions.
3. To produce graduates capable of addressing issues of ethics,
safety, professionalism, cultural diversity, globalization, environmental
impact, and social and economic impact in engineering practice.
4. To produce graduates prepared for successful careers, and for
continuous professional and personal growth.
5. To produce graduates with an ability to gain knowledge and answer
questions through experimentation.
6. To produce graduates who can work collaboratively and who have
people skills needed for a productive and satisfying life.
Graduates find employment in diverse ag- and bio-related industries
and government agencies, and work in engineering design, development,
testing, research, manufacturing, consulting, sales, and service.
Professional engineering services are performed in the agricultural
equipment industries, building and environmental control companies,
grain processing and handling firms, soil and water resource agencies
and biotechnology companies.
Food industry employment is related to production of food products.
Food and process engineers design, develop, implement, and evaluate
food processing procedures and systems.
The department has cooperative programs established for interested
and qualified students. The four-year curriculum is extended over
a five-year period and interspersed with work periods at cooperating
organizations. This plan offers valuable practical experience and
financial assistance during the years in college.
The department offers an undergraduate curriculum and courses in
agricultural systems technology, see College of Agriculture, Curricula.
Well qualified juniors and seniors in Agricultural Engineering who
are interested in graduate study may apply for concurrent enrollment
in the Graduate College to simultaneously pursue both B.S. and M.S.
degrees. Refer to Graduate Study for more information.
Graduate Study
The department offers work for the degrees master of science, master
of engineering, and doctor of philosophy with a major in agricultural
engineering and minor work to students taking major work in other
departments. Within the major the student may specialize in soil
and water resources, agricultural power and machinery, food and
process engineering, or agricultural structures and environmental
systems engineering. Minor work is also offered in agricultural
systems technology for students in other graduate majors. See Agricultural
Systems Technology.
Prerequisite to major graduate work is the completion of an undergraduate
curriculum substantially equivalent to that required of agricultural
engineering undergraduate students at this institution. However,
because of the diversity of interests within the graduate programs
in agricultural engineering, a student may qualify for graduate
study even though the undergraduate training has been in a discipline
other than agricultural engineering. Supporting work will be required
depending on the student’s background and area of interest
with requirements defined by departmental guidelines.
Well qualified juniors or seniors in Agricultural Engineering who
are interested in graduate study may apply for concurrent enrollment
in the Graduate College to simultaneously pursue both B.S. and M.S.
degrees. Under concurrent enrollment, students are eligible for
assistantships and simultaneously take undergraduate and graduate
courses.
For the master of science program at least 30 credits of acceptable
graduate work must be completed with a minimum of 22 credits of
course work; corresponding numbers for the master of engineering
program are 31 and 27. For the degree doctor of philosophy, the
corresponding numbers are 72 and 49; plus an additional 6 credits
of coursework are required as an “enrichment component”
in some important subject area apart from the major, minor, or other
principle thrust area. All graduate students are also expected to
have some teaching/extension experience.
The department also participates in the interdepartmental majors
in water resources, sustainable agriculture, and toxicology (see
Index).
Courses open for nonmajor graduate credit: 342, 363, 403, 405, 413,
415, 416, 447, 480.
