Agricultural Engineering

A Major in the College of Engineering

Hands-on work

From field to home, and everything in between, Agricultural Engineering is alive and well in Nebraska. Do you like to tinker with machinery, or try to invent new or better ways to do things? Are you interested in designing and testing machinery, reclaiming a stream bank, or working with flow devices? Do you enjoy challenges and solving problems in math and science? This is the education for you if you like working to save the environment, or working with the design and testing of powerful equipment. Nebraska is the home of the Tractor Testing Laboratory and center pivot irrigation, two major accomplishments in the world of Agricultural Engineering. Wouldn't you rather study something you already like?

Three emphasis areas are available for Agricultural Engineering majors.

The B.S. Degree in Agricultural Engineering is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, http://www.abet.org.
