BAE Courses & Schedule of Classes

The Department of Biological & Agricultural Engineering offers courses listed under the following three subject codes. The UC Davis General Catalog maintains the most up-to-date course information.

Course Schedules:

We make every effort to offer courses in the quarter listed in the UC Davis General Catalog. However, courses are subject to change based on instructional issues without notice.

All EBSE Major courses have expected student outcomes, what a student knows or can do by the time of graduation. A list of expected student outcomes for all classes and an explanation of each outcome is provided on the ABET page.

Planned course assignments for the next academic year are posted in Winter Quarter of every year. Please see Schedule Builder and the Course Search Tool for information regarding class times and locations. Please note you must log in via Kerberos to access Schedule Builder.

Summer Courses:

The Biological & Agricultural Engineering department does not offer ABT, TAE, or EBS courses over the summer months. All lower-division STEM courses are frequently offered during summer sessions, and course details are typically released in early Spring Quarter on Schedule Builder.

Summer courses are a great way for students to lighten their workload during the typical academic year. It is also recommended to students who need to repeat courses under a certain graduation timeline. GE classes are also a popular option to take over the summer months.
