Polished projects
Students nearing completion of their undergraduate work participate in a design course spanning two semesters. The outcome of this course is a finished design that is presented in a professional manner to their corporate sponsor.
Nationally-accredited program
The bachelor of science degree in biosystems engineering is accredited, along with the other engineering programs in the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology (CEAT), through the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET. The Department of Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering and its faculty are housed within the Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources (DASNR).
A strong partnership
The biosystems engineering degree program is jointly administered by the College of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources (CASNR) and the College of Engineering, Architecture and Technology (CEAT). This relationship means biosystems engineering students benefit from the strengths of both academic colleges. Students receive communication from both academic colleges and are able to take advantage of the services, scholarships and award recognition programs available in both.
