Since 1906, the Department of Biosystems & Agricultural Engineering
(BAE) has 
responded to the changing needs of society by
integrating and applying principles of engineering and biology in a systems context. Today, biosystems engineers at MSU solve complex, rapidly-changing problems related to food quality and safety, ecosystems protection, homeland security and health protection, biomass utilization, and renewable energy development.
The department offers a B.S. degree in Biosystems Engineering (BE), Technology Systems Management (TSM), and a two-year certificate program in Electrical Technology leading to licensed journey electrician and master electrician. The department also offers an M.S. and Ph.D. program in Biosystems Engineering. Although there are about 250 students enrolled in various programs, we take pride in knowing every student's name.
In addition to teaching, the faculty is actively involved in extension and in leading-edge research.
