Course summary
Aquacultural engineers design, build and manage equipment and systems for the production of aquatic plants and animals. Aquacultural engineers need to have a solid understanding of biology, especially processes related to water quality changes, to be able to work with the wide variety of systems used for aquaculture production (systems range from low input earthen ponds, to indoor systems with water treatment and recirculation). The elective courses recommended for the specialization, therefore, include fish biology and production as well as water quality and treatment. In general, employment opportunities for aquacultural engineers are with engineering consulting companies and with government agencies.
Program modules
Water Quality Management for Aquaculture, Fish Production, Physiology of Fishes, Aquaculture Systems Engineering, Environmental Analysis of Aqueous Systems, etc
Entry requirement for international students
As an undergraduate, a student may apply for admission as a freshman or a transfer. To be considered for admission as a freshman, international students must have completed secondary school with a superior average in academic subjects and have earned a certificate of completion which enables the student to be admitted to a university in the home country. Students who have attended school under the British system must present 5 GCSE/Ordinary level examinations and at least 2 Advanced level examinations with superior grades. International applicants whose native language is other than English will be required to demonstrate their English proficiency. This is most often accomplished by achieving a minimum score of 550 (paper-based) or 213 (computer-based) on the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and On the TOEFL iBT minimum score of 80. Freshman applicants who graduated from high school in spring 2005 or earlier are required to have taken the SAT I: Reasoning Test (or ACT) and three SAT II: Subject Tests prior to high school graduation and a score of 7 on the IELTS.
