Welcome to the
BioResource & Agricultural Engineering Department
The mission of the Cal Poly BRAE
department is the study, teaching, and practice of engineering and systems management support for agriculture.
Our students "Learn by Doing" in laboratory-intensive classes. Through practical design and problem solving experiences, our students receive the skills, the tools and the opportunity to build what they design.
The department facilities include well-equipped laboratories for hydraulic systems, evaluation and testing of power units, fabrication of agricultural machinery, agricultural electrical systems, design and construction of agricultural structures, photogrammetry, microcomputers and controllers.
Outdoor facilities include a water delivery unit with multiple pumping systems and operational canals, a field for evaluation of various irrigation systems including an operating linear move and land for experience in the mechanical production of farm products and safe operation of agricultural machinery.
