Dr. Manure: Filling fields at the forefront of environmental awareness
Not all of us spend a lot of time talking about it – that is, until we smell it. But for Dr. Manure, it’s a different story. Dan Andersen, also known as Dr. Manure, is an associate professor in the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering that’s pretty much the expert to go to on the topic of manure.
Art Moeller: Bridging the Gap Between Classrooms and Industry
With a truckload of real-world experience, Art Moeller is bringing a unique perspective to the classroom, sharing real-world knowledge with problem-solvers in the making in the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering.
Welcoming Ryan McGehee, new assistant professor of agricultural and biosystems engineering
“My research empowers informed decision-making by predicting the impacts of various management strategies on food production, environmental health, and more recently, climate change impacts and mitigation. I hope my research enables us to find a way to more than meet the needs of all people on Earth and to do so in a way that we will never jeopardize our ability to do so in the future.”
10 days, 1,000 miles to support Engineers Without Borders
10 days, 1,000 miles – that’s how much Cyclone Engineer Dirk Maier is riding this week on RAGBRAI to raise money for Iowa State Engineers Without Border’s sustainable engineering projects with the Ullo, Ghana, community.

The Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering (ABE) is excited to announce Joanne Kuntz as a Student Services Coordinator in the advising office
If you conserve it, they will come: Kelly Nascimento Coelho promotes healthy Iowa agriculture for the land she now calls home
When Kelly Nascimento Coelho came to Iowa State from northern Brazil, she found the lay of the land very different in Iowa.
Being the solution for a cleaner future: Nikolai Stevens shares influence on improving water quality
Nikolai Stevens, a junior studying agricultural engineering, received the 2022 New Voices Award, an honor recognizing people’s contributions to water quality advocacy.
Exploring engineering excellence: Students are immersed in innovation at Sukup Manufacturing Facility visit
Students in the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering (ABE) gained firsthand experience in the engineering industry with their latest classroom trip – a visit to the Sukup Manufacturing Facility, a facility known for its innovation and cutting-edge technology.
Advisors open horizons with classroom visits to campus facilities, bringing new experiences to class
Research and industry work go hand in hand in the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering (ABE). That’s why the department, through the leadership of the ABE Advising Office, hosts several tours throughout the year for students across the department.
Micro scale, macro impact: Adina Howe studies interaction between microbes and crops to reduce carbon footprint
The impact of microbes goes beyond the micro scale – and Howe is ready to enhance our environment using the interaction between microbes and agriculture.
Graduate students experience intramural sports at Iowa State for the first time
The Intramural program at Iowa State University offers over 40 sports to meet the diverse interests of the student, faculty, and staff.
Julian Canabal: Dean’s Student Leadership Award winner
“My contribution to the Cyclone Engineering community that I am most proud of is being a LEAD peer mentor and helping first year students find their way at Iowa State. As a student leader, I have focused on giving back to the community through community service, community events and sustainable projects.”
Brittini Brown: “Iowa State served as a launchpad for me in discovering that my education was my own and I could take the reins”
Going into graduate school, Brittini Brown was ready for an adventure unlike any other adventure she had before. And a new adventure was exactly what she had as a grad student in the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering
Madalyn Moline: A power and machinery engineer following a dream to improve ag systems and make a difference
Madalyn Moline has always been one to trailblaze new paths and follow her dreams no matter what others might say. Now, she is a sophomore in agricultural engineering with a power and machinery focus. Moline has a drive to not only create more efficient and sustainable agricultural methods, but to inspire others that want to pursue engineering, as well.
