Faculty
All BESS faculty are directly involved in teaching, research, and
public service. Several have had extensive experience in industry, and all
are actively interested and involved in student development.
Faculty members specialize in one or more of the following areas: irrigation, soil physics,
erosion control, structures, subsurface hydrology, waste management, electronic data acquisition
and control, biosensors, bioclimatology, food engineering, machine design, forage
harvesting machinery, chemical application equipment, and grain drying.
Several faculty members have gained national recognition for their work
and serve on national committees for standards development and
coordination of research efforts.
Every student entering the program is assigned a faculty advisor. The
advisor assists in the selection of both required and elective courses and
helps design a program geared to the student's needs and career interests.
This student-advisor relationship provides an avenue for the student to
become familiar with faculty and departmental activities and to find out
about opportunities for internships and for permanent employment upon
graduation.
