Engineering Technology and Management for Agricultural Systems (ETMAS) 1. ETMAS 421: Industrial and Agricultural Safety-Injury Prevention This course focuses on issues associated with industrial and agricultural injuries and effective interventions. Areas include industrial and agricultural injury situations; injury causation; injury intervention strategies and their applications to agricultural and industrial issues; and, specific safety issues in the areas of machinery, grain and forage systems, animals, materials handling and storage, electricity, fire safety, special populations, and emergency preparedness. 2. ETMAS 425: Managing Industrial and Agricultural Safety Risks This course focuses on the primary elements of effective occupational safety and health management plans applicable to any workplace including farms. Topics include orientation to major agricultural and general industry safety and health issues, legal and ethical responsibilities, liability issues, injury/illness incident investigation, safety and health resources, how to approach and organize a safety and health management plan, and safety and health worker education and training. Case study approach and student teamwork to devise safety and health management plans for existing businesses or farms.

I analyzed the safety implications of new autonomous and non-autonomous agricultural machines. My research aimed to provide practical hazard evaluation and safety analysis tools to engineers, technology experts, researchers, and others in the machine and equipment industry.Strong research and problem-solving skills, experimental design skills, and business acumen coupled with technical knowledge of safety engineering led to the identification of limitations of current safety engineering methods used to ensure the safety of autonomous and non-autonomous agricultural machines. My key achievements were: • 4 Research publications • $20,000 grant received • 6 Oral conference presentations • 2 Scientific research collaborations made with 2 companies: https://www.earthsense.co/ and https://balanced.llc/

There is an urgent need to find alternative methods to safely and effectively monitor stored grain. I evaluated the potential and performance of wireless sensors to monitor temperature and moisture content in stored grain using a 3D stored grain ecosystem computer simulation model.High-level strategic planner, clearly communicating complex topics to diverse audiences, excellent teamwork and collaboration skills demonstrated by managing the overall research project, resulting in the following accomplishments: • Research's scientific findings were used by Amber Agriculture, Inc (https://www.amber.ag/). to enhance their produced wireless sensor technology. • 3 Research publications • 2 Award-winning scientific presentations • 5 Oral conference presentations
