Historical Note

In 1914 USU created a new school, called the School of Agricultural Engineering. It stayed that way until after WWII when they began teaching other branches of engineering. By 1947, the Schools had divided into departments, among which was the Department of Agricultural and Irrigation Engineering. The name of the department changed in 1992 to biological and Irrigation Engineering.
