The goal of the program is to educate technology managers who can combine a critical understanding of agriculture and biological sciences with the problem-solving viewpoint of an engineer. The curriculum is intended for students who want a broader education than is provided by the engineering curriculum and do not desire the analytical focus necessary in an engineering degree.
