The Department of Biosystems Engineering at Malatya Turgut Özal University, Faculty of Agriculture, began admitting students in the 2023–2024 academic year. The department was established with the aim of applying engineering principles to agricultural production systems to enhance productivity, ensure the sustainable use of natural resources, and develop environmentally friendly technologies.

The department conducts its education, training, and research activities based on contemporary engineering approaches in multidisciplinary fields such as agricultural production systems, energy systems, land and water resources management, agricultural structures and environmental control, data analytics, and biotechnology. The Department of Biosystems Engineering aims to train highly qualified engineers capable of contributing scientifically to national and regional agriculture in areas such as digital transformation in agriculture, water and energy efficiency, climate change adaptation, and sustainable resource management.

With an interdisciplinary curriculum, students are trained to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical application, developing competencies in engineering design, data analysis, modeling, system optimization, and problem-solving. The department adopts scientific research, innovative technology integration, and sustainable development goals as guiding principles, aiming to educate a skilled workforce that will lead modern agricultural production systems both regionally and nationally.

The Department of Biosystems Engineering operates under four main divisions:

1. Agricultural Machinery Systems

2. Land and Water Resources

3. Agricultural Structures

4. Energy Systems

Through these fields, the department strives to provide engineering solutions that address Turkey’s needs in environmentally sustainable technologies, increased agricultural productivity, and the efficient use of water and energy resources.
