报告内容：

Agricultural Engineers play critical roles in providing engineering solutions to support sustainable agriculture production and food processing in modern world. In this presentation, Dr. Juming Tang will share the latest (2020) survey results about research and graduate education of 21 Agricultural Engineering Departments in USA and Canada. He will discuss major challenges facing the agriculture industry, and provide an overview of the research and graduate programs in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering at Washington State University in addressing those challenges. He will share his own experiences in bringing a laboratory research through scaling-up, regulatory approval, start-up companies to global commercialization.
