Graduates are engineers who accept positions in design, development, research, and consulting.
The curriculum provides thorough training in mathematics, physics, and engineering sciences common to all engineering disciplines. Students may elect the general option, which provides training in engineering applications to biological and agricultural systems, or the food engineering option, which focuses the training in engineering applications to the food industry. Agricultural and biological engineering graduates enter careers in design, development, testing, research, management, applications, and technical sales. Agricultural and biological engineers are uniquely qualified to deal with engineering aspects of food and biological production and processing. Environmental protection and natural resources conservation are integral to their mission.
