Iowa State Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering

Have you ever wanted to take a glance into the life as a student in ABE? Well, this video does just that! Combining our @iastate_cals and @ISU_CoE characteristics, we dare say we do a little bit of everything. 😏 Look right into the life as a student in ABE here! ⬇️

Not all of us spend a lot of time talking about it – that is, until we smell it. But for @DrManure, it’s a different story. Dan Andersen is an associate professor in ABE that’s pretty much the expert to go to on the topic of manure. Read more here: news.engineering.iastate.edu/2023/09/07/the…

With 14 years running his own engineering firm, Art Moeller is bringing hands-on expertise to TSM 444, Facilities Planning in ABE. His mission? Equip future professionals with skills they can use from day one. Read our feature story with Art here: news.engineering.iastate.edu/2023/09/06/art…

#ICYMI @ISU_ABE Ph.D. student Eric Henning shared his research comparing water infiltration between prairie strips & row crop fields across #Iowa with @ialearningfarms. 🎙️Hear the latest about seasonal & site-related variations in this fascinating webinar: bit.ly/45DVooG

Happy first day of classes, everyone! We are so excited to have you back and have the halls buzzing once again! 📚💡✏️ (p.s. - we think you can almost see the humidity in this photo... very on track for the first week of class though! 😅)

On this awesome Friday, we are thrilled to congratulate Steve Mickelson and Steve Freeman on the awards they received at the #ASABE luncheon last month! Congrats, all!

As the school year is about to begin, we want to introduce Joanne Kuntz to the ABE team! Joanne started in ABE this summer as a Student Services Coordinator in the advising office, and looks forward to making a difference in students’ lives. news.engineering.iastate.edu/2023/07/24/wel…

@szintri @LinaLpzc @AII4RA @unlagrohort @UNL_PSI @UNLresearch The robot hard at work in our cornfield yesterday. One of several PhenoBot 3s produced by our talented collaborator Lie Tang at @ISU_ABE. Part of our @usda_nifa supported phenotyping project testing hundreds of kinds of corn the eastern edge of Iowa to western edge of Nebraska.

We are hiring! Come join our ABE team as an Assistant or Associate Professor in Vehicle Systems Automation and Sensing! Apply here: isu.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/IowaStateJobs/…

10 days, 1,000 miles – that’s how much ABE's Dirk Maier is riding this week on RAGBRAI to raise money for Iowa State Engineers Without Border’s sustainable engineering projects with the Ullo, Ghana, community. Read more: news.engineering.iastate.edu/2023/07/24/10-…

ABE grad students offered a cool activity for high school students in the @USDA AgDiscovery summer program! Check out these students designing an irrigation system with three zones and a variety of criteria to follow!

Proud to be a Cyclone in the ABE Department and honored to be mentioned in such a well-written story.

A diverse research team led by Raj Raman is making progress in the quest to develop a perennial groundcover system integrated with cash crops that would only need to be planted every 5-15 years. cals.iastate.edu/inrc/scientist… #CALSProud #ISUCALS #NIFAimpacts

If you conserve it, they will come. As an engineering graduate student, Kelly Nascimento is set on unearthing land-use data to conserve Iowa’s nutrient-rich soil. Read all about how she is promoting healthy Iowa agriculture here: news.engineering.iastate.edu/2023/07/14/if-…

Our grad students had a fantastic time at #ASABE23 - not only a great time presenting, but also an awesome time spent together through dinners, breakout sessions, and so much more! Here's to another successful year!

Having a blast at #ASABE23, and taking a lot of successful presentations, exciting networking, and even an Order of the Engineer ring home with us!

Check out this share from @doescience on our very own Adina Howe’s microbial research!

A good support system helps us handle stress. For plants, that system is often in the form of the microbial community around them. Adina Howe @IowaStateU is working with @CABBIbio to research the connections between microbes in leaves and bioenergy crops: news.engineering.iastate.edu/2023/06/12/mic…

Nikolai Stevens received the 2022 New Voices Award, celebrating his outstanding contributions to water quality advocacy. Stevens emphasizes the crucial role of the next generation in improving global water quality for a better future! Read More: news.engineering.iastate.edu/2023/06/28/bei…

How cool is this? @ISU_ABE students got a firsthand look at ag innovation happening inside @SukupMfg.

PIs George Huber, Dan Rokhsar and Adina Howe presented "Bioenergy 101" talks on upgrading plant products with catalysts, using 'omics in #feedstock production, & plant-microbiome interactions. The presentations will be available soon on CABBI's website! ➡️ cabbi.bio/about/bioenerg…
