Integrate physical and biological sciences to design systems for renewable energy, off-road equipment, and water quality, and the use and protection of soil and water resources.
Specialized training:
- Students in renewable energy systems learn engineering principles to design systems that rely on sunlight, wind, geothermal, biomass, and other renewable sources.
- Off-road equipment engineering provides students with knowledge and skills in the design, manufacturing, testing, and operation of agricultural and construction equipment.
- Students in soil and water resources engineering learn principles and practices related to the development, conservation, and sustainable use of natural ecosystems, including land and water resources.
- This concentration requires additional coursework in statistical methods, circuits, and mechanics.
