Society Spotlight:

American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers

It's a small planet on which we live, and we have to use our natural resources wisely. Biological and agricultural engineers ensure our growing population has the necessities of life: safe and abundant food and water, a healthy environment, timber and fiber for shelter and clothing, and renewable fuel sources. With a degree in biological or agricultural engineering, you could:
  • Devise more-sustainable ways of producing food, fiber, and timber
  • Help underprivileged communities around the globe acquire clean water for drinking and farming
  • Convert farm and forest waste materials into new products, like renewable fuels
  • Develop bioimaging technology to detect food contaminants like E. coli
  • Design agricultural equipment that leaves a smaller environmental footprint

If you like science and math, biological and agricultural engineering offers a unique opportunity to combine those interests with the challenge of providing food, fuel, fiber, timber and other goods without degrading or depleting our natural resources.
