Approximately 30 students.
To get the degree, each student has to study 52 courses.
1. Foundational Knowledge:
Lectures: clear and concise lectures to introduce core concepts in engineering, biology, agriculture, and environmental sciences.
Readings: readings from textbooks, research papers, and online resources to supplement lectures and encourage deeper understanding.
2. Active Learning and Application:
Problem-solving: present real-world agricultural and biosystems engineering problems for students to tackle individually or in groups. This would encourage critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and teamwork.
Case Studies: Analyze real-world case studies of successful or challenging agricultural engineering projects. This would allow students to see how theory translates to practice.
Guest Lectures: Invite professionals from the agricultural engineering industry to share their experiences and insights. This would expose students to career opportunities and industry trends.
3. Hands-on Learning:
Laboratory Experiments: Design lab experiments that reinforce theoretical concepts learned in lectures. This could involve soil testing, water quality analysis, machinery operation simulations, or bioprocess experiments (depending on the course).
Design Projects: Challenge students with design projects where they apply their knowledge to develop solutions for agricultural problems. This could involve designing irrigation systems, farm machinery modifications, or sustainable agricultural practices.
Field Trips: Organize field trips to farms, agricultural research facilities, or bioprocessing plants. This would allow students to see engineering principles in action within the agricultural context.
