Biological and Irrigation EngineeringThe Biological and Irrigation Engineering (BIE) department applies the art and science of engineering principles to the solution of problems in biological systems, and to the creation of new biological-based systems, processes, and products.Sprinkle & Trickle Irrigation- March 11, 2008 This is a course regarding technical design and evaluation of pressurized agricultural irrigation systems, including system layout, pipe sizing, water applicator selection, pumping system hydraulics, water filtration requirements, and water application uniformity and efficiency.http://ocw.usu.edu/Biological_and_Irrigation_Engineering/Sprinkle___Trickle_Irrigation Biochemical Engineering- March 11, 2008 Biochemical processes, thermodynamics, and kinetics are used in the application of engineering principles to analyze, design, and develop processes using biocatalysts. Processes covered in the course include those that are involved in the formation of desirable compounds and products or in the transformation, or destruction of unwanted or toxic substances.http://ocw.usu.edu/Biological_and_Irrigation_Engineering/Biochemical_Engineering Irrigation & Conveyance Control Systems- March 11, 2008 This is a course regarding measurement of flow rates and water levels. Calibration, design, and selection of open-channel flow measurement structures. Design of irrigation conveyance and distribution system infrastructure.http://ocw.usu.edu/Biological_and_Irrigation_Engineering/Irrigation___Conveyance_Control_S... Surface Irrigation Design- March 11, 2008 This course was originally developed for the United States Department of Agriculture. It contains nearly 20 video lecture presentations with accompanying slides in English, Arabic, and French, an online textbook, homework assignments, and downloadable surface irrigation simulation software also developed by Dr. Walker. This course highlights design and evaluation of surface irrigation systems, field measurements for evaluating and improving uniformity and efficiency, simulation of surface...http://ocw.usu.edu/Biological_and_Irrigation_Engineering/Surface_Irrigation_Design |
