Name of the programme
The official name of the programme will change by September 1, 2012 to Biosystems Engineering. This change of name has recently been approved by the Ministry of Economics, Agriculture and Innovation. This means that anyone who graduates after September 1st, 2012 will graduate in Biosystems Engineering and not in Agricultural and Bioresource Engineering. Read more
The Agricultural and Bioresource Engineering programme focuses on:
- Development of technology for the production, processing and storage of food and agricultural non-food
- Management of the rural area
- Renewable resources
- Agro-industrial production chains.
In all cases it concerns innovation and sustainable technology. The interaction between technology, plants, animals, the environment and society plays a central role. Developments in society at large often involve the development of new technology. The adoption of new technology and its integration within existing processes therefore requires special attention. This is why the programme also offers a course in technology assessment.
