The Department of Biosystems Engineering at the Faculty of Agriculture, Bursa Uludağ University, was established in 2009. The Department incorporates, as academic divisions, the fields of specialization previously covered by the Departments of Agricultural Machinery and Agricultural Structures and Irrigation. Biosystems Engineering is an established academic discipline at many universities in developed countries worldwide. The Department began offering undergraduate education in 2009 and graduate education in 2013.
The Department’s teaching and research activities cover a broad range of areas, including automation and emerging technologies in agriculture, precision agriculture techniques, energy and machinery, mechanization applications in crop and animal production, post-harvest mechanization, agricultural structures, land and water resources development, and rural development.
The Biosystems Engineering graduate program comprises four academic divisions: the Division of Land and Water Resources, Division of Agricultural Energy Systems, Division of Agricultural Machinery Systems, and Division of Agricultural Structures.
