American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers Student Branch (ASABE) Hallway AESB The American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) at the University of Illinois is the student branch of the national ASABE organization. ASABE is an educational and scientific organization that seeks to advance engineering associated with agricultural, food and biological systems. The student branch at the U of I is organized by student-elected leaders and advised by departmental staff members. Members of the student branch can participate in numerous national contests and events across the country through the ASABE organization. build ¼ scale pulling tractor for a national competition held in Peoria, IL. each year. Students gain real world experience, learn problem-solving skills and apply classroom knowledge in mechanical engineering and business management. ased engineering data to aid in the design of agricultural buildings and conducts performance tests on agricultural ventilation fans and poultry light traps. Career Opportunities in Agricultural and Biological Engineering Hallway AESB Agricultural and Biological engineers solve engineering problems related to living organisms and systems. Careers are available in bioprocessing, renewable energy, water and air quality, food production systems, among many others. Employment is available in industry, government and academics. A Promising New Energy Source Hallway AESB Thermo-chemical conversion processes (TCC) can be used to convert biomass into a crude oil product. Using a feedstock that is normally considered a waste product, such as swine manure, improves the economic and environmental considerations of the TCC process and also the pork production process. Air Cannons for Use in Agriculture and Forestry Hallway AESB Air cannons are used for various purposes in agriculture, such as a “puncher-planter,” and for general safety testing. The air cannon contains a unique piston mechanism that enables reproducible acceleration of a test object. Learn how the air cannon works and see it in action! Mechatronics and Its Applications to Off-Road Vehicles Hallway AESB Mechatronics is the study of machinery with a “brain”. Such machinery is integrated with mechanical parts, electrical components, and microprocessors. The difference between conventional machinery with electronic components and mechatronic machinery is that the former adds electronic components, while the latter integrates electronic components. Illini Pullers Hallway AESB From mechanical design to construction, members of the Illini Pullers Club work as a team to Bioenvironmental and Structural Systems Laboratory Hallway AESB The Bioenvironmental and Structural Systems (BSS) Laboratory is a research, product-testing and educational laboratory. The lab provides unbi- Biomass Feedstock Production Hallway AESB Biomass feedstock production (BFP) provides materials to the conversion of biomass into fuel, power, and value-added materials. BFP includes 13
