2005-06 Undergraduate Catalog
Precision Agriculture
The precision agriculture minor is a multidisciplinary minor. Students use satellite imagery, aerial photography, field sensors and the Global Positioning System to acquire information about field conditions. This information is organized and analyzed using a digital mapping system called Geographical Information System. Once analyzed, this data can help make effective management decisions (refer to Agricultural and Biological Engineering).
The minor requires 15-credit hours from the following categories:
