ABE is a key part of ISU's efforts in the emerging bioeconomy.
*** ABE has the #2 ranked ag engineering program in the U.S. ***
Since 1905, the Department of Agricultural Engineering, now the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering (ABE), has been a leader in providing engineering solutions to agricultural problems in the United States and the world. The department's original mission was to mechanize agriculture. That mission has evolved to encompass a global view of the entire food and biorenewables production system--the wise management of natural resources in the production, processing, storage, handling, and use of food fiber and other biological products.
