B.S. in Atmospheric Science

Study mode: Full Time |

Atmospheric science is the study of the layer of air that surrounds the planet. It includes all weather phenomena, such as frontal systems and clouds, as well as severe weather events such as hurricanes and tornadoes. Concerns regarding the effects of human activity on the quality of the air we breathe, and on possible global warming are also central to this field of study.

B.S. in Biological Systems Engineering - Aquaculture Engineering

Study mode: Full Time |

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.

B.S. in Biological Systems Engineering - Food Engineering

Study mode: Full Time |

The food industry is the largest industrial sector of the U.S. economy. Food engineers conceive, design, and operate food processes, equipment, and plants for efficient food production with minimal impact on the environment. Students specializing in food engineering learn to apply engineering principles and concepts to handling, storing, processing, packaging, and distributing food and related products. In addition to engineering principles, the food engineering specialization is intended to provide an understanding of the chemical, biochemical, microbiological, and physical characteristics of foods. In the junior and senior years, students take courses that focus on the integration of biological and food science with engineering. Concepts of food refrigeration, freezing, thermal processing, drying, and other food operations are studied

B.S. in Biological Systems Engineering - Forest Engineering

Study mode: Full Time |

Forest engineers apply engineering principles to solve problems in managing forest lands. Forestry has evolved from an emphasis on wood production toward multiple use, ecosystem management and consideration of noneconomic objectives such as retaining biodiversity. Forest engineers help develop the equipment and techniques to plan and carry out forest operations which can meet these changing requirements.
