Biomechanical Option
Biomechanical engineers learn much of the same material as a traditional Mechanical Engineer, preparing them to design "hard core" machinery systems such as transmissions and engines, but they also receive a broad background where they study biology, horticulture, soil and crop sciences, and a wide variety of other subjects.
Biomechanical engineers are particularly adept at designing equipment such as this log loader used in the timber harvest industry, because they not only have an understanding of the mechanical systems involved but also of the engineering properties of the biological material that the machine is designed to handle.
Applying the Global Positioning System (GPS) to precision agriculture is a hot topic in Biomechanical engineering. Using GPS signals form space, tractors may one day drive themselves!
