Ecological Systems Engineering. Specialists in<br />

ecological systems engineering are concerned with<br />

the design, development, and management of ecosystems.<br />

Typical applications include the rehabilitation<br />

of disturbed ecosystems, the design of mitigation<br />

areas, the incorporation of ecologically sustainable<br />

features into land developments, and the design and<br />

management of public and private landscapes. An<br />

understanding of ecology and the interaction of ecological<br />

communities, coupled with knowledge of<br />

engineering design and economics, are stressed in<br />

this specialization. Employment opportunities include<br />

environmental consulting firms, government regulatory<br />

agencies, and agencies involved in wildland<br />

resource management.<br />

Food Engineering. The food industry is the largest<br />

industrial sector of the U. S. economy. Food engineers<br />

conceive, design, and operate food processes,<br />

equipment, and plants for efficient food production<br />

with minimal impact on the environment. Students<br />

specializing in food engineering learn to apply engineering<br />

principles and concepts to handling, storing,<br />

processing, packaging, and distributing food and<br />

related products. In addition to engineering principles,<br />

the food engineering specialization is intended<br />

to provide an understanding of the chemical, biochemical,<br />

microbiological, and physical characteristics<br />

of foods. In the junior and senior years, students<br />

take courses that focus on the integration of biological<br />

and food science with engineering. Concepts of<br />

food refrigeration, freezing, thermal processing, drying,<br />

and other food operations are studied.<br />

Recommended biological sciences electives:<br />

Biological Sciences 101, 103;<br />

Environmental Science and Policy 110;<br />

Environmental Toxicology 101, 131; Food<br />

Science and Technology 104L, 119, 120,<br />

128; Plant Biology 152, 172.<br />

Recommended engineering electives:<br />

Biological Systems Engineering 175;<br />

Chemical Engineering 157, 159.<br />

Suggested Advisers: J. Krochta, K. McCarthy, M.<br />

McCarthy, R. P. Singh, D. Slaughter<br />

Forest Engineering. Forest engineers apply engineering<br />

principles to solve problems in managing<br />

forest lands. Forestry has evolved from an emphasis<br />

on wood production toward multiple use, ecosystem<br />

management and consideration of noneconomic<br />

objectives such as retaining biodiversity. Forest engineers<br />

help to develop the equipment and techniques<br />

for reforestation, harvesting, forest residue management,<br />

and development of roads and recreation<br />

facilities.<br />

Following the sophomore year, students are encouraged<br />

to attend an eight-week field course, followed<br />

by a semester at <strong>UC</strong> Berkeley taking forestry<br />

courses, and forest ecology, planning, and operations.<br />

Students complete their engineering programs<br />

at <strong>UC</strong> <strong>Davis</strong>, taking courses in planning methods,<br />

equipment development, and road design. Forest<br />

engineers are employed by the US Forest Service<br />

and other public agencies, the forest industry, consulting<br />

firms, and equipment manufacturers.<br />
