Department  of  Biosystems  Engineering  offers  two  primary  majors  in  undergraduate  programs,  i.e.,  Biosystems  Engineering  and  Food  Industry  Machinery.  For  graduate  students,  there  are  three  fields,  including  the  design  of  farm  machinery,  renewable  energies,  and  postharvest  technology.  These  programs  are  mainly  intended  for  those  who  expect  to  be  involved  in  engineering  solutions  for  agricultural  problems  and  for  those  who  require  a  broader  understanding  of  the  complex  implications  of  agricultural  engineering,  research,  and  development.  Biosystems  engineering  integrates  engineering  science  and  design  with  applied  biological,  environmental  and  agricultural  sciences.  It  represents  an  evolution  of  the  agricultural  engineering  discipline  applied  to  plants  and  livestock.  Typical  programmatic  areas  include  the  production  of  bioenergy:  development  of  sensors  and  biosensors;  environmental  engineering;  controlled-environment  agriculture;  food  processing  and  food  safety;  agricultural  engineering  (machinery,  irrigation,  and  storage),  water  quality  assessment,  and  water  recycling  (including  measurements  of  pathogens,  chemicals,  and  other  contaminants).  There  are  several  specific  laboratories,  including  renewable  energies,  postharvest  technology,  electrical  and  electronics,  sensors  and  biosensors  (under  construction),  and  robotics  and  mechatronics  (under  construction),  as  well  as  a  well-equipped  machining  shop  that  provides  facilities  for  teaching,  experimental  activities  and  fabrication  of  agricultural  machinery  and  equipment,  being  accessible  to  the  academics  and  students  of  the  department.  Currently,  nine  academic  members  are  active  in  the  department,  working  on  agricultural  machinery  and  food  industry,  renewable  energies,  postharvest  technology,  image  processing,  machine  learning,  sensors  and  biosensors,  conservation  tillage,  physical  properties  of  agricultural  materials,  and  precision  farming.
