Research
areas in the department include agricultural machinery design, tillage
mechanics, sensors and instrumentation for agricultural and biological
systems, agricultural building environments, soil and water management,
waste management, cold-regions hydrology, postharvest and food
engineering and value-added bioprocessing. Research programs may be
arranged in environmental engineering in consultation with the Division

with engineers and scientists at the Prairie Agricultural Machinery
Institute, the Institute for Agricultural Rural and Environmental
Health, the Prairie Swine Centre Inc., the National Hydrology Water
Research Center and the Canada-Saskatchewan Irrigation Development
Centre. In addition, interdisciplinary programs can be arranged in
cooperation with other university departments.
