Individual research on a selected problem in the field of biosystems engineering. May be repeated for a maximum of 6 credits.

Student design teams evaluate and enhance design solutions, fabricate prototypes, execute performance tests, analyze results, and develop final design specifications. Oral and written reports are required.

This course teaches load estimate for light timber and concrete structures and introduces the design of heating, cooling, and ventilation systems in these structures.

The hydrologic cycle is studied and design procedures are developed for flood control structures, water table management, wetlands, irrigation, and erosion control systems.

An intensive study of some phases of biosystems engineering in which the student is particularly interested. Approval of instructor is required. May be repeated to a maximum of six credits.

This course will introduce students to mathematical modeling of biological systems, both from a conceptual and methodological perspective. The art and science of developing a computer simulation model will be presented and supported by examples/exercises in MATLAB.

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a method in which the energy and raw material consumption, different types of emissions and other important factors related to a specific production or service are measured, analyzed and summarized over the entire life cycle. This course will cover the theory, practice and application of Life Cycle Assessment. Life Cycle Assessment is one tool in a large tool box of methods, such as Life Cycle Costing (LCC), Substance Flow Analysis (SFA), and Risk Assessment (RA), used to evaluate goods, services and systems.
