B.S. in Agricultural Engineering   The overall goals of this program are to provide a fundamental understanding of the natural, mathematical and engineering sciences and then to apply this understanding to design devices and processes in any general area. This four-year professional engineering curriculum has been designed to focus on an interdisciplinary approach to an engineering education and to take advantage of the University’s comprehensive education environment. By combining courses that focus on the principles of mechanical, electrical, and civil engineering, students are prepared for employment in a variety of engineering careers. Activities in these careers may involve design of machinery and equipment (mechanical); structural and environmental design (civil); management of water and natural resources (civil); processing, manufacturing, and quality measurement (mechanical, chemical, and electrical); and controls, energy use, microelectronics, and electrical power and machines (electrical). Graduates from this program are qualified to take advantage of employment opportunities related to civil, mechanical, electrical, agricultural and process engineering. All students complete courses in the basic engineering sciences such as statics, dynamics, strength of materials, fluid mechanics, electric circuits, thermodynamics and heat transfer. They also select from intermediate engineering science and design courses in electronics, mechanism design, structural design, physical unit operations, and natural resource engineering. Engineering design is introduced in the first year and a design methodology course is taught in the second year. The capstone engineering design course is required in the fourth year. In addition, courses with engineering science and design components are offered throughout the four-year curriculum.
