Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Agricultural Systems Management] From Texas A&M University

Agricultural Engineering courses (irrigation, drainage, fertilizers and farm management) were taught at Texas A&M as early as 1891 in what was then the Department of Agriculture. In 1911, a School of Agriculture and a School of Engineering were established. Within each school, departments were created based upon subject matter. The agricultural engineering courses were moved to the Department of Agronomy within the School of Agriculture. A Department of Agricultural Engineering was created within the Department of Agronomy in 1914, and in 1915 became an independent department. In 2005, the department celebrated its 90th year as a department.
