Graduates design and develop equipment and systems for the processing of food for human and animal use, biofuels, and other biological materials. Utilization of agricultural and biological materials presents unique engineering challenges to sustainably convert these natural resources into products needed by society. Examples include designing bioprocesses to convert cereal crops into food ingredients that optimize human and animal health and processing designs to convert biological materials into fuels and biochemicals while minimizing their environmental footprint.

Degree Requirements

Graduates design, manufacture, and test equipment and control systems for off-highway vehicle industries, including agriculture, construction, and mining. These vehicle and equipment systems must be designed to operate in surroundings that present unique challenges for operating efficiency, safety and environmental impact. 

Degree Requirements

Graduates design renewable energy systems, using solar, wind, biological, and geothermal resources.

Degree Requirements

Graduates design sustainable systems to manage and conserve soil and water, control erosion and sediment, improve water quality, and minimize pollution.

Degree Requirements

Graduates design, manage, and restore sustainability and resilience in natural and urban environments, integrating automation and environmental control while applying principles of ecology and conservation.

Degree Requirements

Graduates apply engineering principles to improve organisms by introducing new capabilities vital to food, energy, water, agricultural, and environmental sectors.
