Through tri-part mission (research, education and extension) of a land grant university, UK’s biosystems engineers seek to develop sustainable systems for the production and processing of food, fiber and renewable energy products, and to minimize or mitigate the impact of these systems on our environment.
Our engineering efforts are concentrated in areas that include: environmental restoration and stream reconstruction; reduction of off-site movement of soil, nutrients, and chemicals; reclamation of disturbed lands; energy efficient controlled environments for human and animal comfort; post-harvest storage and value-added processing of biological products; production and processing of renewable fuels; scale-up and implementation biotechnology-based production practices; carbon sequestration and life cycle analyses; off-road vehicle design; agricultural robotics; and automated field production systems. Today, biosystems engineers are trained in biological, environmental and engineering sciences and challenged to improve the sustainability of production systems, decrease or eliminate environmental hazards, and preserve our natural resources.
