130 total
credit hours are required for graduation with a B.S. in Agricultural Engineering.
For more detail on the department courses listed below, consult the on-line
version of the Undergraduate
Bulletin. Adobe Acrobat required.
Although
the curriculum can be completed in eight semesters, many students take
longer in order to participate in internships and co-op assignments with
companies, international exchange studies, and part-time research projects
in the department. These opportunities give AGEN students practical, hands-on
experience to learn about careers in engineering.
