“Tile drainage, nitrate and phosphorus levels, all the soil stuff we manage here, it’s exciting!” said Gabrielle Myers-Bailey, a graduate student in agricultural and biosystems engineering “All our work as ag engineers leads to better water quality and lower soil impacts.”
“We as engineers must understand the impact of our actions and our work, and how to communicate that. For me, research has enabled me to practice and enhance that skill. “
The Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering welcomes Hanwook Chung to our faculty.
The prospective student whose appreciative family got a personal tour of Sukup Hall. The student team whose derailed senior project received some attentive advice to get back on track. The university carillonneur whose replica model project needed a little professional expertise to assure its consistent operation. The common thread? Their day was better because Hoa (“Hwah”) Chi offered to help.
“Before coming to college, I aspired to become an engineer who could help put more food on the table with less land due to our growing world population. This aspiration remains true to this day. I now feel I have the knowledge and network to move towards that goal. Whether my name is known by the world or not, I know that I want to make a difference in my community and workplace. Small things can make a huge difference.”
“I would like to restore ecosystems to improve natural waterways’ resiliency, function and beauty. My goal is to encourage and design these restoration projects equitably.”
Matthew Poling knew he wanted to get his hands dirty after transferring to Iowa State, with in-the-field learning to help him grow into a career in the agricultural industry.
Congratulations to 2023 College of Engineering faculty and staff award winners, new named faculty positions, and patent recipients.
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.
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.
“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 – 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
When Kelly Nascimento Coelho came to Iowa State from northern Brazil, she found the lay of the land very different in Iowa.
Nikolai Stevens, a junior studying agricultural engineering, received the 2022 New Voices Award, an honor recognizing people’s contributions to water quality advocacy.
