  1. “Agricultural” Engineering Education at University of Manitoba 张强, PhD, PEng Professor and Head Biosystems Engineering University of Manitoba, Canada Visiting Professor School of Food Science and Engineering Nanjing University of Finance and Economics

  2. GeneralTrend in North America • The word “agricultural” seems to be the “problem”  identity, recognition by the public • Challenges in student enrolment • Shafting from “agricultural” to biological systems /bio-resources • bio-processing, biotechnology • environmental engineering • biomedical engineering

  3. Environment andNatural Resources • Wastewater treatment • Air pollution control • Soil remediation • Wetlands protection • Drainage • Erosion control • Pesticide and nutrient runoff • Bioenergy • Wind and solar energy • Alternative building materials

  4. Bioprocessing • Nutraceuticals, phamaceuticals, and functional foods • Packaging, storage, transportation of perishable products • Pasteurization, sterilization, irradiation techniques • Food processing techniques & technologies • Biomass fuels • Biodegradable packaging materials
