such as fish, that thrive in water) to land farming to
forestry; from developing biofuels to improving
conservation; from planning animal environments to
finding better ways to process food.

Agricultural Engineers: Work


Environment
Agricultural

engineers work much of the time


in offices. They also spend time at a variety of
worksites, both indoors and outdoors,
traveling to agricultural settings to see that
equipment and machinery are functioning
according to both the manufacturers
instructions and federal and state regulations.

Agricultural Engineers: How To


Become One
Agricultural

engineers must have a bachelors


degree, preferably in agricultural engineering
or biological engineering. Employers also
value practical experience, so cooperativeeducation engineering programs at
universities are valuable as well.

Biochemists: What do they do

Biochemists and biophysicists study the chemical and


physical principles of living things and of biological
processes, such as cell development, growth, and
heredity.

Biochemists: Work Environment

Biochemists and biophysicists typically work in


laboratories and offices to conduct experiments and
analyze the results. Most work full time.

Biochemists: How to become one

Biochemists and biophysicists need a Ph.D. to work in


independent research and development. Most Ph.D.
holders begin their careers in temporary postdoctoral
research positions. Bachelors and masters degree
holders qualify for some entry-level positions in
biochemistry and biophysics.
