About This Certificate

The Agricultural and Biological Engineering graduate studies program offers an opportunity for students to earn a certificate in Applications in AI-based SmartAg Systems through the College of Agricultural and Life Sciences (CALS). 

A 3-tier sequence of courses was devised based on current catalog of courses with emphasis on precision agriculture and SmartAg concepts. The first course, at Tier I, introduces students to design analysis, and evaluation of SmartAg methods for applications in production agriculture, biological and food engineering, forestry, land, and water resources At Tier II, the student will develop machine learning skills that can be applied to a broad ranges of applications in agriculture and life sciences. In addition to current prerequisites for listed courses, the required courses will follow the proposed tiered structure sequence, i.e. Tier II will require Tier I courses. After completion of Tier I and Tier II, the student can select 1 additional specialized course (elective) according to the student's area of focus or interest across different disciplines. Courses in Tier III will require completion of Tier I and II.
