Teaching. We are excited about our two majors, Ag & Biosystems Engineering (ABE), dealing with the development and design of major systems and equipment that impact our world's food sources, and Ag Systems Technology (AST) dealing with practical applications in the agricultural market.

Research. Our research is cutting edge, spanning everything from biofilters and manure odor reduction to food safety, distillers grain, biodiesel fuel, center pivot irrigation, and ground water runoff research.

Extension. Accurate, up-to-date, information from our Extension area provides assistance to South Dakotans in irrigation and water, farm safety, outdoor air quality, farm machinery, ag structures, and environmental, and rural handicap-accessible issues.

The Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Department offers the opportunity for students to improve and impact the food chain and natural resources of America.
