Scientific and engineering principles are applied to problems in concentration areas such as biomechanical applications; management of soil and water resources; processing and marketing of food and fiber; and machines, controls, and structures for biological and agricultural systems.

The Biological Engineering degree has three concentration areas Agricultural, Bioprocessing and Environmental. The program places emphasis on basic science and engineering courses, such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, biology, materials, and thermodynamics, providing a solid foundation for application of engineering principles to biological systems.

The Agricultural Engineering Concentration offers career opportunities in power and machinery systems, farm structures and climate control. Positions are in manufacturing and processing companies where a knowledge of machinery and power systems, structural design, mechanical analysis or ventilation and climate control is needed.
