The BioRenewable Systems Major is an applied major that intertwines the study of engineering technology, natural resources, and agriculture with fundamentals of business, entrepreneurship, and management. Administered through the Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering, the BioRenewable Systems (BRS) program uniquely prepares students to solve 21st century problems and attain careers in both traditional sectors and those relating to the emerging bioeconomy. Students in this program will secure: knowledge of fundamental sciences related to resources, processes, and products in biorenewable systems; communication and managerial skills relevant to careers in product development, technology, sales, marketing and management; and the ability to apply systems analysis skills, positioning them for effective problem solving and leadership in the agricultural and bioproducts industries.
Graduates are typically employed as sales and field representatives, financial and technical consultants, and technical service or quality assurance personnel in renewable bioproducts or related agricultural sectors such as: power and machinery systems, forest products, food production, bioprocessing, environmental systems, wood structures, bioenergy, co-product development, and agrochemicals.
Graduates may continue their education in a graduate program with a science, engineering, or business orientation.
The BRS major has two options: Agricultural Systems Management (ASM) and BioProducts (BP).
AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT OPTION
This option applies a technological approach to understanding and managing agricultural production systems to meet economical and sustainable needs. Basic study is emphasized in the agricultural and business management sciences, along with the application of the technical results of engineering research, design, and manufacturing. Graduates of this option apply their technology and management training to the diverse areas of food and fiber production; bioprocessing; and land, water, and air resources.
BIOPRODUCTS OPTION
The scientific nature of biobased resources—their unique design, sustainability, and renewability—constitutes the core of this option. Building upon that foundation, students will learn techniques for converting and efficiently utilizing these materials to maximize product life cycles, while simultaneously exploring relevant marketing and management strategies. Technical electives for this option emphasize material sciences, engineering, and/or business. Career tracks are broad, ranging from traditional forest products companies to emerging sectors, including bioenergy co-products.
