B.S. Agricultural Engineering Program
The goals of this program are to provide a fundamental understanding of the natural, mathematical and engineering sciences and then to apply this understanding to design devices and processes in any general area. This four-year curriculum is designed for an interdisciplinary approach to engineering in the context of UGA'S liberal arts environment. By combining courses that focus on the principles of mechanical, electrical and civil engineering, students are prepared for employment in a variety of engineering careers.
B.S. Biological Engineering Program
This program is designed to provide a fundamental understanding of biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics and engineering and to apply this understanding to design devices and processes related to biosystems. Graduates have an excellent understanding of the complementary aspects of biology and engineering and work as professionals implementing new ideas and technologies in complex biologically-based industries. This major is a preparatory degree toward medical, veterinary, dentistry and related professional degrees.

Coastal and Marine Engineering Graduate Certificate Program
Near-shore and coastal processes are the focus of this multi-disciplinary program. This certificate is open only to UGA graduate students in engineering or marine sciences and emphasizes marine instrumentation and numerical modeling of near-shore and coastal processes. Marine instrumentation emphasizes the design of operational and research instruments for use in the marine environment. The need for new and better marine instrumentation is acute, especially for measuring chemical and biological processes. Marine instrumentation design requires an understanding of instrumentation engineering, communication and data handling systems, as well as knowledge and understanding of the marine environment.

Computer Systems Engineering Graduate Certificate Program
Computer Systems Engineering (CSE) involves the design and implementation of computer hardware and software systems to solve problems. The understanding of both software and hardware allows the computer systems engineer to view the design and development of hardware and software as two intimately linked parts of one activity. Advances in semiconductor technology have led to a decrease in chip size while increasing processor speeds. As a consequence, microcomputers are embedded into products such as automobiles, home appliances and industrial controls. The growth in computer-related technologies has led to a need in industry for professionals who have a knowledge of basic electrical engineering concepts of circuits, electronics and digital systems and a foundation in computer science.
