Graduates apply general engineering principles to the solution of agricultural problems.
The program focuses on water resource, irrigation, drainage, and environmental engineering practices. Civil engineering deals with the design, the construction, and the management of engineering structures such as bridges, buildings, dams, highways, airports, water supply and waste treatment systems, docks, and harbors. Geological engineering applies knowledge of geologic conditions to analysis and design of rock structures, hazardous waste facilities, natural hazard investigations, and ground water systems. Students may wish to obtain more than one option in civil engineering or two degrees from within the department. In addition to the university requirements for graduation, a student must have an average of a 2.0 grade-point average in all departmental courses.
