Develop the skills and knowledge to help guide the world toward a sustainable future. Biosystems engineers help protect the health and well-being of humans, wildlife and the Earth. Students earning the Bachelor of Science in Biosystems Engineering collaborate with the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and several College of Engineering degree programs. They study ways to sustainably feed an ever-growing world population, harness and preserve natural resources, and overcome environmental challenges. Students are immersed in design throughout their undergraduate experience. The future depends on biosystems engineers working in fields such as agriculture, water conservation and renewable energy.LEARNING OUTCOMESAn ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering At the time of graduation students will: 1. be proficient in mathematics to a level of differential equations 2. have an understanding of the physics concepts of mechanics, electric circuits, thermodynamics, and optics. 3. be knowledgeable in basic chemistry 4. be competent in the knowledge of and applying engineering science as required for their majorsAn ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data Students will: 1. be able to design experiments to efficiently collect data to test a hypothesis or design a component using, statistical and probabilistic methods 2. be able to conduct experiments and collect information with an understanding of equipment and measurement systems. 3. be capable of drawing and presenting conclusions from experimental results through data analysis using, experience in statistical and probabilistic methods and appropriate forms of graphical presentation of data. 4. be able to design experiments to efficiently collect data to test a hypothesis or design a component using, statistical and probabilistic methods, basic sciences and engineering science background. 5. be able to conduct experiments and collect information with, an understanding of equipment and measurement systems. 6. be capable of drawing and presenting conclusions from experimental results.
