The overall purpose of the Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering undergraduate programme is to prepare graduates who will integrate and apply the principles, knowledge and skill of engineering to agricultural, food and biological systems.
The mission of the Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Department typically focuses on advancing the science and application of engineering principles to the fields of agriculture and the environment.
The Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Programme equips students with a comprehensive understanding of technology and living systems, offering diverse employment opportunities. The curriculum provides valuable experience in engineering disciplines and prepares graduates for multidisciplinary teams. Graduates develop practical solutions for producing, storing, transporting, processing, and packaging agricultural products and addressing issues related to systems, processes, and machines interacting with living organisms and materials. Students also learn to develop sustainable solutions for using agricultural products, byproducts, wastes, and natural resources like soil, water, air, and energy. Career prospects include roles such as Consulting Engineer, Environmental Engineer, Equipment Design Engineer, Extension Engineer, Food Process Engineer, Irrigation Engineer, and many more. With postgraduate degrees, graduates can pursue careers in academia and research at universities and research institutions.
