Students completing the masters degree will need to complete 32-hours of degree requirements, with only 400- and 500-level coursework will be counted, with a minimum of 12 credit hours of 500-level courses required. Eight hours of Agricultural and Biological Engineering coursework, four hours of Computer Science coursework, four hours of Crop Sciences coursework, and four hours of Capstone or Professional Practicum.
Professional Development Credit can be acquired through an activity such as an internship with a company, laboratory or agency with a subsequent archivable report, a design project performed under a faculty mentor or a transcripted business-oriented or leadership course.
Students must finish with a 3.0 GPA or higher to achieve the Master of Engineering degree.
