Computer-Aided Problem-Solving for ABE I credit:

3 Hours

Approaches to solving problems in the field of Agricultural and Biological Engineering (ABE) using computer aids. Case studies will consider traditional and new domains in ABE such as: off-highway vehicle engineering, natural resources and environmental systems, control of indoor air environments, bioprocessing of food and agricultural materials, digital and urban agriculture, renewable energy, and sustainability. Typical approaches to problem solving include spreadsheets, GUI based programming, scripting, geospatial platforms, solid modeling, visual programming, dynamic modeling, biological modeling. Prerequisite: One of MATH 220 , MATH 221 , MATH 234 .
