Razi University

Department of Mechanical Engineering of Biosystem  
The Bio-systems Engineering Department (Mechanics of Agricultural Machinery the previous name of the department) was founded in 2005 at the campus of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
This department began to admit students for Master's programs in the same field in 2010, and is now admitting students for bachelor's and Master's programs.
Following the changes made by the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology on this field in 2013, it was decided that Mechanical Engineering of Bio-systems should be divided into three branches as Design of Agricultural Machinery, Post-Harvest Technology and Renewable Energies.
The students of the aforementioned fields are expected to obtain the following positions:

Design of Agricultural Machinery
1-    Expert in the design of agricultural machinery in factories and workshops involved in the designing and producing of tractors, and agricultural tools and machinery.
2-    Expert in agricultural machinery for managing, repairing, and maintaining the current equipment of the agriculture, industries, and related agricultural centers.
3-    Teacher at high schools of agriculture, contributing to agricultural research and engineering at research centers.

Post-Harvest Technology
1-    Expert in the design of equipment and machinery involved in food industry and processing agricultural products.
2-    Technical assistant of production lines in factories of food industry and processing agricultural products.
3-    Expert in planning, machine design, production lines, systems of the development of food industry and processing agricultural products. 

Renewable Energies
1-    Expert in the design and development of renewable energies systems.
2-    Expert in teaching and research in the field of renewable energies.
3-    Expert in the design of systems for exploiting renewable energies.
