Are you an ABE (Agricultural or Biological Engineering) student or professional, or in one of the many related fields?
Are you interested in learning more about a discipline that exists at the intersection of people, animals and the environment?
Have you ever wondered to yourself: “What even is an Agricultural and Biological Engineer?” You may just be starting out or have been in the major for several years and still wondering what it is all about? What can one do with a degree in Ag and Bio Engineering? What jobs are out there? What areas of work? What future job or post graduate studies options are available to you? What are programs like at other schools?
Or maybe you know exactly what you want to do and are looking for an opportunity to network and meet more people in your field. You may be looking for a job or a chance to check out CalPoly SLO BRAE department’s graduate programs.
Or perhaps you are a professional looking to give back, mentor, or just get involved in the Section. This is a perfect opportunity for you to get involved.
The 3rd ASABE CANV Student Rally is a unique opportunity that can help you find the answers to some of these questions while meeting other students with interests similar to you. The Rally will be hosted, in person, by Cal Poly San Luis Obispo’s BioResource & Agricultural Engineering Dept over Veteran’s Day weekend. Attendees can expect a 1.5 day event beginning at Noon on Friday, Nov 11th and concluding Saturday, Nov 12, at 3:30 PM.
