We will overview current and emerging technologies used in digital agriculture. You will be engaged in learning technology fundamentals (languages, concepts, methods), through seven 2-week projects. These hands-on exercises will allow you to gain a practical understanding of the technology itself, review research and development trends, and debate opportunities and challenges presented by each technology. This course will equip you with basic computational thinking and software development skills for Agricultural Informatics careers. Languages used: Python (e.g., to graph data), html, CSS, and SQL. Experience with these languages is not required, but some prior programming experience with any computer programming language is necessary.
A detailed investigation of a topic of current significance in biosystems engineering such as: design of small earth dams, vacuum dehydration systems, small particle mechanics, biofuels, environmental control in green houses, sprinkler irrigation, energy conversion in agriculture, bio-simulation. May be repeated to a maximum of six credits, but only three credits can be earned under the same title. A particular topic may be offered at most twice under the BAE 599 number.
