Built to Solve. Ready to Lead.
Agriculture and natural resources depend on people who can turn complex challenges into practical solutions. At Cal Poly, BioResource and Agricultural Engineering students combine engineering, technology and management with Learn by Doing to design, build and improve the systems that support agriculture, water, energy and the environment.
Hands-On Learning Labs
Where Ideas Become Solutions
Your learning extends into engineering shops, research labs, irrigation fields and working agricultural systems. You’ll use industry tools and emerging technologies to design, build, test and improve solutions while gaining the hands-on experience to tackle real-world challenges.
Beyond the Classroom
Some of your most meaningful experiences happen outside class. In BioResource and Agricultural Engineering you'll find your community in a club or team, work alongside faculty on research and discover new ways to put your interests and skills into action.
Clubs and Opportunities
Build Your Community
Your Cal Poly experience extends beyond academics. Through student clubs, competition teams and professional societies, you’ll find your people, build friendships and industry connections, and develop leadership skills while creating, competing and solving problems together.
Research and Innovation
Put Curiosity to Work
Work alongside faculty and industry partners to investigate questions facing agriculture and natural resources. From automation and controlled environment agriculture to water and energy systems, you’ll test ideas and develop technologies with the potential for real-world impact.
