Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering

Industrial and Agricultural Technology Graduate Program

The new graduate programs in industrial and agricultural engineering combine the agricultural systems engineering and industrial technology programs.

However, graduates still receive a broad understanding of agricultural systems engineering and industrial technologies. They are able to communicate effectively with colleagues, industry leaders, career and technology educators, and the general public in both formal and informal settings.

Research

Research focuses on the following areas:

  • manufacturing technology
  • occupational safety
  • training and development
  • agricultural systems technology

We have several research labs in each of our buildings, including the following:
