What you’ll be able to do
Identify, formulate, and solve complex water, sediment, and manure management, and engineering problems by applying engineering and science principles to design water control, erosion control, and nutrient management systems.
Apply engineering design to produce water, sediment, and manure management solutions that meet agricultural production needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
Communicate effectively with the instructor and other students during in-class discussions.
Recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in water, sediment, and manure management, and engineering situations and make informed design assumptions/judgments, which must consider the impact of soil & water conservation and manure management solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal context.
Function effectively on a team to accomplish assigned tasks.
Analyze and interpret data related to rainfall and runoff, soil characteristics, tillage practices, and manure characteristics and use engineering judgement to select appropriate design solutions.
Acquire and apply new knowledge relate to sustainable agricultural production systems that can protect and preserve soil and water resources while maintaining agricultural productivity.
