What does an agricultural engineer do on a daily basis?
• Biological Engineers might work in bio-processing trying to replace a non-renewable resource like petroleum with a renewable resource like corn to create fuel from biomass – taking cornstalks and making ethanol. Or, they might work with bio-sensors developing a system to detect oxygen in cells. If there is oxygen in the cell, the cell is living. As cancer treatments are developed, we could use this bio-sensor to be sure the treatment is not killing the “good” cells, and that it is killing the cancerous cells. Each year our seniors have the opportunity to apply their skills in a senior project. Take a look at a senior project in this area – Pharmaceutical Fluidized Bed Processing • Environmental & Natural Resources Engineers work in areas involving air, water and soil. With air, it might be monitoring the quality of air in a building, designing the ventilation system, and designing an air filtration system if needed. With water, it might be analyzing ground water movement within a wat
