The Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering (ABE) is a key collaborator in the UF/IFAS mission. As we transform into one of the top departments in the nation, we aim to reflect the University of Florida's preeminence goals and Top 10 ranking by increasing undergraduate enrollment and meeting the growing needs of society.
Innovative teaching space is a critical component of our success. The new W.W. Glenn Teaching Building provides an environment where students can work as teams, explore multiple applications of engineering electrical, mechanical, hydrologic, etc. and develop the technical and soft skills that will benefit them as they enter the engineering discipline.
The experiential learning courses taught in this facility will include collaborative team projects with other IFAS units and Industry partners. The facility will provide a very unique space where students, faculty, other IFAS units, and industry partners can engage in problem identification, solution exploration, and teamwork. This innovative and modern teaching space will provide an ‘apprenticeship’ style learning environment that not only better prepares students for success but also allows their future employers to be part of the process.
