ABE Students
The Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Department not only provides our students with excellent academic programs, but also opportunities for professional development and student engagement.
Each year, we award up to $30,000 in scholarships at our annual Banquet of Excellence to recognize academic achievements. Our students are able to apply concepts they learn in class at internships, where they gain experience working in potential career fields while earning academic credit. Student clubs and organizations provide opportunities for social engagement and industry networking. Finally, our Senior Design Capstone Program allows students to experience the dynamics of an industry-based project.
Our students are able to apply concepts they learn in class at internships, where they gain experience working in potential career fields while earning academic credit. Students also have the opportunity to participate in several career fairs.
Students in the Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Department are required to complete an internship during their program. We encourage students to gain experience through multiple internships, but at least one must be taken for credit.
Whether you are seeking part-time or full-time employment, internship experiences or the chance to network with professionals from the engineering and agricultural industries, there is a career fair on campus for you!
Several resources are available to students seeking internship experience. Our career fairs attract industries and agencies from across the region each year. Students can also log into Handshake for current listings.
For more detailed information regarding internships, please contact Kristin Stuckey.
Registering for Internships
When should students register for internships?
Most internships are completed during the summer after the student has fulfilled at least one year of coursework on campus. Academic progress may impact when the student can complete an internship for credit.
How do students register for internships?
Students must first submit an Internship Agreement Form in order to receive academic credit for an internship. Once the form has been approved, students may register.
