Congratulations to the newly registered AB Engineers!
September 20, 2022 marks the day that newly registered AB Engineers were announced. Exactly 6:15 pm, the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) released the official list of the 2022 Agricultural and Biosystems Engineer Licensure Examination passers. Out of 1968 takes, only 832 we able to pass.
What exactly is AGRICULTURAL AND BIOSYSTEMS ENGINEERING course?
Actually, I wasn't aware of what Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering (ABE) is. All I know is that my house is near on the college where ABE is offered, and that, it is engineering. My dream is to be an engineer, and before, it doesn't matter whether what type of engineering I will enroll to. But out of curiosity, I've decided to look for more info about it.
The Bachelor of Science in Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering 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 sustainable production, post-production, and processing of safe food, feed, fiber, timber, and other agricultural and biological materials; the efficient utilization of, conservation, and management of natural and renewable resources; and development of climate change mitigation measures to enhance human health in harmony with the environment. Agricultural and Biosystems (AB) consist of crops, poultry, livestock, fisheries and aquaculture resources, forestry and other plants, new and renewable energy, wastes, natural resources, and climate.
The graduates of BSABE are expected to understand and apply engineering science and designs to identify, analyze, and create solutions for problems concerning land development; irrigation, and drainage including dams, farm roads and bridges; AB production machinery; new and renewable energy; AB buildings and structures; postharvest and processing technologies; climate change, and natural resources, environmental and waste management.
Some says that our course is the application of all engineering course because during our schooling, we have practiced different fields. For example, we are exposed to electrical concepts, or either in mechanical, in environmental mitigations, machineries, farm structures, etc. But it was just all introduction and practices. Our main focus is the agricultural sector where we are trained to create a sustainable agriculture by creating and inventing machines that would be of great help to our farmers.
And now, as registered Agricultural and Biosystems Engineers, we are expected to create more innovative methods that would help to sustain agriculture until the next hundreds of generations.
You can also be an AB Engineer and help our country!!! Be one of us! Be #ABEmazing 💪
