Technical Systems Management is a relatively small program having approximately 80 students. Many of our students work part-time in the department. The TSM program is recognized by the American Society of Agricultural Engineers and its local affiliate, the Illini Agricultural Mechanization Club. This rating is based on the quality of activities conducted by the clubs. Five of the last nine national presidents were from the TSM program.
Students entering our program can select between three options.
The Production Systems Option prepares students for their return to agricultural production or to serve as managers for production systems. Option electives are directed toward agronomy, animal production, farm management, and other production-based classes. The Mechanization Marketing and Technical Systems Option is directed toward careers in the agricultural industry in the broadest sense. Authored by Jeremy Enos , TSM student.
