Agricultural Mechanization (AGME) Minor
Graduates with a minor in agricultural mechanization are employed by food companies, farm machinery companies, irrigation companies, electric power companies or cooperatives, etc.
Courses in the agricultural mechanization minor are taught jointly by faculty in the Biological and Agricultural Engineering Department and the Agricultural and Extension Education Department. Courses are listed as AGME or BAST. The minor is coordinated by the Agricultural and Extension Education Department.
Requirements for a Minor in Agricultural Mechanization: 18-20 hours are required. Students must take AGME 1613 and AGME/BAST 2903. Four courses are to be selected from only one of the following groups of courses in addition to the six hours listed above.
Field Production Emphasis: AGME 2973, 3283, 4203, 4973, 4983; BAST 3023, 3403
Confined Production and Processing: AGME 3173, 4983; BAST 3023, 3403, 4153, 4754
Professional Degree in Biological and Agricultural Engineering (BAEG)
The curriculum leading to the professional degree in agricultural engineering is under the joint supervision of the deans of the Dale Bumpers College of Agricultural, Food and Life Sciences and the College of Engineering. The engineering degree, Bachelor of Science in Biological and Agricultural Engineering (B.S.B.A.E.), is conferred by the College of Engineering and is described on page 446. Students who wish to receive this degree will enroll in the College of Engineering.
Courses: Biological and Agricultural Systems Technology (BAST)
