Features of the BSABE:

The new 4-year BSABE curriculum integrates the following principles: Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) The K-12 Educational Program, and The new General Education

Curriculum (GEC)

Rationale:

• The scope of Agricultural Engineering has become too limiting for it only includes:o Agricultural products, o Agricultural by-products, and o Agri-wastes for food, feed, and fiber.

• Today, Agricultural Engineers are in the areas of: o food and water security and safety, o new and renewable energy, o natural resources conservation, o environmental protection, o climate change mitigation, and o human health and safety.

Rationale: International universities offering Agricultural Engineering

have already expanded their scope and renamed their programs to one of the following: o Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering; o Agricultural and Biological Engineering; o Agricultural, Food and Biosystems Engineering; o Biological Engineering; o Biosystems Engineering; o Bio-resource Engineering; o Biological and Environmental Engineering; and o Bio-products and Biosystems Engineering.

The ASEAN Countries have now adopted the so called:o ASEAN Consortium for Agricultural and Biosystems

Engineering (ACABE) - since 2012o ASEAN Universities Consortium for Food and Agro-

based Eng. and Technology Education (AUCFA)

Program Specifications

Degree Name

• The degree program shall be called Bachelor of Science in Agricultural and Biosystems (Agri-Bio) Engineering (BSABE).

Nature of the Field of Study

The BSABE Program is designed to produce graduates who possess knowledge, skills, and attitudes in the application of engineering science and designs to the processes and systems involved in the following: Sustainable production, post production, and processing

of safe food, feed, fiber, timber, and other agricultural and biological materials;

Efficient utilization, conservation, and management of natural and renewable resources; and

Development of climate change mitigation measures, in order to enhance human health in harmony with the environment.

Agri-Bio consist of crops, forestry and other plants, poultry, livestock, fisheries, and aquaculture resources, other animals, wildlife, and other living things.

Specific Profession/Careers

The graduates of the BSABE Program have expertise on the following areas: Agri-Bio Power, Energy, and Machinery

Engineering Agri-Bio Process Engineering Land and Water Resources Engineering Agri-Bio Structures and Environment

Engineering

Scope of Practice of BSABE Grads

The scope of practice of Agri-Bio Engineering is defined in the Philippine Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering Act of 2015 or Senate No. 2434.

a. Preparation of engineering designs, plans, specifications, project studies, feasibility studies, and estimates of . . .

b. Supervision or management of the construction, operation and maintenance of irrigation and drainage, soil and water conservation and management systems. . . and agri-bio automation and instrumentation systems

c – l . .

Program Outcomes

6.1. Common to all programs in all types of schoolsThe graduates have the ability to:a) articulate and discuss the latest developments in the

practice of Agri-Bio Engineering (PQF Level 6 descriptor)b) Communicate effectively both in oral and in writingc) work effectively and independently in multi-disciplinary

and multi-cultural teams (PQF Level 6 descriptor)d) act in recognition of professional, social, and ethical

responsibilitye) preserve and promote “Filipino historical and cultural

heritage” (based on RA 7722)

Program Outcomes6.2 Common to the engineering discipline

The graduates have the ability to:

f) design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyse and interpret data

g) design a component, process, or system integrating economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability, and sustainability considerations and in accordance with standards

h) use modern engineering tools, techniques and skills for the upgrading of the engineering practice

i) recognize the need for, and engage in life-long learningj) knowledge of current local and international issues

Program Outcomes

6.3 Specific to Agri-Bio Engineering sub-disciplineThe graduates have the ability to:k) identify, formulate, and apply mathematics, agri-bio

science, and engineering principles to solve agri-bio engineering problems;

l) know and understand agri-bio engineering and management principles as a member and leader in a team to manage agri-bio engineering projects

m) understand the impact of agri-bio engineering solutions in a global, socio-economic and environmental contexts
