In-class field trips are required. Typically offered in Fall only Graduate Catalog 965
BAET 451Biological and Agricultural Engineering Technology
Capstone I (2 credit hours) This is the first course in a two-course capstone design sequence for engineering technology students. The course introduces applied engineering design through problem definition, specifications, constraints, standards, manufacturing considerations, and professional ethics. Students develop fact-finding skills and analyze existing designs while proposing and planning feasible solutions to open-ended, real-world engineering technology problems. Team-based projects emphasize effective communication, teamwork, and technical documentation. Must be within 36 credit hours of completing the degree. Typically offered in Fall only
BAET 452Biological and Agricultural Engineering Technology
Capstone II (2 credit hours) Continuation of BAET 451; Project analysis, design, scheduling, construction, tests, presentations and reports. Teamwork development, soft skills and the function of engineering design in society are covered. Typically offered in Spring only
BAET 491Professionalism in Biological and Agricultural
Engineering Technology (1 credit hours) This course focuses on professionalism and the development of soft skills that current research identifies as essential for prospective employees. Topics include business ethics, job placement strategies, and professional development specific to Biological and Agricultural Engineering Technology. Designed as a prerequisite, this course prepares students for their required High Impact Experience in the following semester. enrolled or have completed BAE 100 and BAE 210.
