The Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering s mission is teaching, research, and extension for solving engineering and technological management problems in agriculture, environment, biotechnology, and natural resources through an understanding of the biological and physical sciences. We will be an excellent source of engineering education and knowledge in the fields of agriculture and biological sciences, and widely recognized as such by the public and our peers due to the success of our graduates and extension clientele, and the significance and usefulness of our research. The educational goals for the two curricula are summarized below. The Program Goals Matrix is included in Appendix B giving the specific competencies involved in all of the outcomes. Graduates can apply their technical expertise to solve engineering problems.
Graduates can communicate effectively.
Graduates can work effectively in teams. Graduates have adequate knowledge of appropriate agricultural and biological sciences, and natural resource topics. Graduates can apply their technical expertise to solve engineering problems. Graduates can apply their knowledge of math, science, and engineering to the technical problems they encounter, including the design of experiments and data analysis. Graduates will know how to effectively use modern engineering tools to solve engineering problems 4.
