Biological and Agricultural Engineering

The Doctor of Philosophy in Biological and Agricultural Engineering program at Washington State University offers students a unique opportunity to become experts in four key areas of research: bioenergy and bioproducts engineering, food engineering, land, air, water resources and environmental engineering, and agricultural automation engineering. The program provides students with an interdisciplinary education exploring topics such as biosensor design, energy efficiency systems, food processing technology, and precision agriculture robotics. Through laboratory-based courses and hands-on research projects, students will gain the skills and knowledge necessary to develop innovative solutions to real-world problems related to sustainable technologies, food safety, renewable resources management, or climate change. Graduates from this program will be well-prepared for careers in industry or academia with the potential to make a significant impact in the field of biological and agricultural engineering.
