Background Information

The Bachelor of Science in Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering program is designed to produce graduates who possess knowledge, skills, and attitudes in the application of engineering science and designs to the processes and systems involved in the sustainable production, post-production, and processing of safe food, feed, fiber, timber, and other agricultural and biological materials; the efficient utilization of, conservation, and management of natural and renewable resources; and development of climate change mitigation measures to enhance human health in harmony with the environment. Agricultural and Biosystems (AB) consist of crops, poultry, livestock, fisheries and aquaculture resources, forestry and other plants, new and renewable energy, wastes, natural resources, and climate.

The graduates of BSABE are expected to understand and apply engineering science and designs to identify, analyze, and create solutions for problems concerning land development; irrigation, and drainage including dams, farm roads and bridges; AB production machinery; new and renewable energy; AB buildings and structures; postharvest and processing technologies; climate change, and natural resources, environmental and waste management.

Program Objectives

  1. Technically equipped and trained as farm managers and supervisors of medium and large scale agro-industrial entities, research workers in private and government agencies, technical trainers and teachers in agricultural and engineering colleges and universities, key staff as engineer or agricultural development specialists, as sales representatives; and as self-employed chief executives or managers; and
  2. Competent experts in the discipline, particularly in soil and water resources and management; farm power resources and machinery management; and farm and environment control structures. Specifically, the program trains the students for a career in agricultural engineering to possess the capabilities to:
    • Prepare them to become professionals with entry-level competencies;
    • Plan, design, develop and implement agricultural projects that would be consistent with sustainable development and environmental preservation and protection; and
    • Acquire new skills, knowledge levels, relevant experiences analogous to global field practices in agricultural engineering; be sensitive and responsive to the dynamic changes brought about by globalization; and develop an appreciation in students, of the potential of an agricultural engineering business enterprise.
