The Ecological Paradigm

The department has the advantage of two buildings and physical locations in Columbus and Wooster, Ohio. A multi-disciplinary approach to applied and engineering research is encouraged. The University provides access to state-of-the-art research facilities in may areas. Control systems engineering, simulation and electronic systems are supported by the Department's Computer and Control Labs and Food Process Control Laboratory. CAD and CAE are available in the department, and through the College of Engineering. Mainframe computer systems and a super-computer are available.

Agricultural Engineering Building, Columbus, Ohio

The Agricultural Engineering Building in Columbus, completed in 1987, is one of the finest facilities of its kind in the world. The building contains 9,000 square meters (97,000 square feet) of offices, workshop space and laboratories for agricultural production systems; food engineering; packaging and handling; chemical applications; chemical and physical properties; animal environment, crop and soil research; erosion, runoff and drainage; and water and waste management. Additional facilities are available for food processing and analysis through the Food Industry Center.
