With rising global challenges related to labor, sustainability, and food security, agriculture is rapidly becoming one of the most complex and impactful domains for cyber-physical systems research and deployment. The course focuses on the engineering foundations of modern farm operations—including field robotics, machine perception, farm management information systems, and digital twins—while emphasizing system integration, safety, and usability in real-world agricultural environments. <br/> Students will read and critique state-of-the-art research papers spanning autonomous machinery, edge/cloud computing for farms, computer vision for crops and livestock, and scalable decision support systems. A semester-long team project will allow students to conceptualize, prototype, and present a solution to a real-world digital agriculture challenge. The course features guest lectures from practicing engineers and stakeholders in the ag tech industry to bring practical perspectives into the classroom. <br/> Prerequisites: Graduate-level in ABE or an engineering discipline Restriction(s): Restricted to Engineering. Not intended for Graduate - Urbana-Champaign. Restricted to MS: Agr & Biol Engr -UIUC or PHD: Agr & Biol Engr -UIUC. Not intended for First Time Freshman students.
