A Brief Department History
In 2004, the Department of Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering
celebrated its 95th year as a unit at the University
of Minnesota. On July 1, 1909, the Division of Farm Structures
and Farm Mechanics and the Division of Agricultural Physics
in the University Department of Agriculture were united to
form the Division of Agricultural Engineering.
Here you can read about the department and view photos taken
over the years. The quick history is divided into a number
of "chapters," with
links to sidebars of interest. For more in depth information,
look at "Agricultural Engineering
at the University of Minnesota to 1942," by Harry
B. Roe, William Boss, and Hall B. White; edited by A. J.
Schwantes.
After his retirement, A. J. Schwantes began work on "Agricultural
Engineering at the University of Minnesota since 1942." The
unpublished text is found here.
