Are there engineering majors out there directly related to animals?
Animals have always been a huge passion of mine. I would love to know if there are any engineering majors that I can study that can lead me to an engineering job that involves working with animals. #engineering #civil-engineering #biomedical-engineering #animals #women-in-stem #environmental-engineering #women-in-engineering #animal-welfare

Yes. Agricultural Engineering would be one. The study covers a pretty diverse spectrum but in the context of farming such as designing new farm equipment. This may or may not be directly working with animals but that likely depends on where you choose to work.
