 The degrees Master of Science, Master of Engineering,
 Doctor of Philosophy and Engineer are offered with
 graduate programs in agricultural engineering through
 the College of Engineering. The Master of Science degree
 is offered in the area of mechanized agriculture through
 the College of Agriculture.
 The Master of Science, Master of Engineering and Doc-
 tor of Philosophy degrees are offered in the following
 areas of research: soil and water conservation engi-
 neering, waste management, power and machinery,


structures and environment, and electric power and
processing. Through a cooperative program jointly
administered with the Department of Food Science and
Human Nutrition, a student can pursue a graduate
specialization in food engineering. Similar cooperative
research programs may be developed with other depart-
ments within the University.
 The Master of Science in the mechanized agriculture
area of specialization provides for scientific training and
research in technical agricultural management.
 Requirements for admission into the Master of
Engineering and Doctor of Philosophy degree programs
are the completion of an approved undergraduate pro-
gram in agricultural engineering or related engineering
discipline. Admission into the'Master of Science program
in the College of Engineering requires completion of
mathematics sequence through differential equations,
eight credits of general chemistry and eight credits of
general physics with calculus and laboratory or
equivalent. Admission into the Master of Science con-
centration in mechanized agriculture requires comple-
tion of an approved undergraduate mechanized agricul-
tural program and a working knowledge of either
COBOL, FORTRAN, or BASIC computer language. Any
student not meeting the stated admissions requirements
may be accepted into a degree program providing suffi-
cient articulation courses are included in the program
of study. Students interested in enrolling in a graduate
program should contact the Graduate Coordinator.
 Candidates for advanced degrees in engineering are
required to take at least nine credits of AGE courses at
the 5000 level or higher, with at least six credits of AGE
courses at the 6000 level, exclusive of seminar and thesis
research credits. Other courses are taken in applicable
basic sciences and engineering to meet educational
objectives and to comprise an integrated program as
approved by the department's Graduate Committee.
Courses from other disciplines may be approved for
graduate major credit. Master's students are required to
complete at least three credits of mathematics at the 5000
level or higher, while doctoral students are required to
complete at least 12 credits.
 Candidates for the Master of Science concentration in
mechanized agriculture are required to complete MAG
6312, at least three credits of statistics at the 6000 level
and at least two credits of applied systems or computer
programming at the 5000 level or higher.
 Prerequisite for admission to any engineering graduate
course is generally an undergraduate degree in
agricultural engineering or related engineering discipline.
