Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering
Agricultural Engineering Technology and Business (AETB)
Interim Department Head: Dr. Jonathan Pote
Office: 150 Agricultural and Biological Engineering Building
The AETB program provides an educational opportunity for students interested in applying technical, business, and management skills to problems in agricultural production, processing, commodity related business and finance, and natural resources utilization. A Bachelor of Science degree is offered by the Agricultural and Biological Engineering Department through the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
The AETB program provides the industry with men and women possessing excellent skills in the engineering technologies, as well as a thorough background in business and management. This combination allows the AETB graduate to excel in virtually any business enterprise. The AETB Base Curriculum prepares the graduate for the many diverse opportunities afforded by the industrial and agricultural industries. In addition to the broad background in agricultural technologies and business, students may concentrate on a particular career-path by completing an AETB concentration. The AETB Base Curriculum provides six concentrations:
- Aquacultural Systems,
- Enterprise Management,
- Gin Management & Technology,
- Natural Resources & Environment Management,
- Precision Agriculture, and
- Surveying/Geomatics.
These concentrations are achieved by completing 12-18 hours of specified technical electives as approved by an AETB advisor. In addition, the Surveying/Geomatics concentration is supported through a unique AETB curriculum.
The Aquacultural Systems concentration provides an enhanced background in fishery management, fish disease, and water quality. The Enterprise Management concentration is designed to provide skills for agricultural and business enterprise management. The curriculum provides a broad background including both animal and plant sciences, agricultural technology, economics, business and management. The Gin Management and Technology concentration provides graduates with a thorough education in cotton gin management and fiber processing. Courses emphasize technologies that are specific to the fiber processing industry including: hydraulics, pneumatics, industrial controls, seed technologies, biological materials handling, industrial safety and human relations. The Natural Resources and Environmental Management concentration provides an enhanced background in geology, hydrogeology, resource conservation, and water quality for students pursuing careers that require environmental training. The Precision Agriculture and Surveying/Geomatics concentrations provide courses in remote sensing, GPS, GIS, and surveying to enhance the student’s abilities for careers involving spatial technologies. The Surveying/Geomatics students take an additional 12 hours of surveying courses. The jobs available in several of these concentrations exceed the supply of graduates.
Transfer credits with a grade of C or higher will be considered toward fulfillment of the degree requirements in the AETB curriculum. A maximum of 12 transfer hours of technical credit can be applied toward degree requirements.
Employment for AETB graduates includes the following agricultural industries/government agencies: food/fiber production (farming), agri-chemical, agricultural lending, aquaculture, banking, cotton ginning, seed & grain processing, crop consulting, agricultural equipment manufacturers and sales, farm management, land surveying in both the public and private sectors, food processing, and hydrographic surveying and map development via the use of remote sensing, GIS, GPS, photogrammetry, etc. data.
