Overview
Program Description
The Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering program at North Dakota State University emphasizes solving engineering problems for agricultural production, food and biofuels processing, and environmental resources management. Advanced work may involve specialized training in the following areas: irrigation and drainage engineering; agricultural hydrology; soil and water resources management; livestock waste management; air quality, process engineering for food and biofuels, and other bioproducts; agricultural machine systems; precision agriculture; machine vision and intelligent sensors for biological systems; and post-harvest handling and storage of biomass feedstocks and other biological materials.
Student research and academic programs are tailored to individual student needs and interests. Interdisciplinary approaches to agricultural and biosystems engineering programs are fostered.

General requirements
- A baccalaureate degree in engineering or have taken the equivalent of the basic undergraduate engineering courses
- Any student receiving an M.S. or Ph.D. degree from the NDSU ABEN department must have taken the following fundamental courses prior to attaining the graduate degree. If the courses (or their equivalent) were not taken prior to matriculating at NDSU, they should be taken in addition to other coursework required for the graduate degree: Introduction to Differential Equations, Engineering Mechanics I and Engineering Mechanics II (these two may be substituted by a calculus-based Physics I class), Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer (may be substituted with Transport Processes, which may also count toward graduate degree) Fluid Mechanics, University Physics II
