长期以来，USU的灌溉工程计划被公认为是美国乃至全世界同类最佳的计划。美国和世界各地许多杰出的灌溉工程师都是USU计划的毕业生，该计划的教职员工继续在全球数十个国家的国际开发项目中发挥领导作用。已经在拉丁美洲，加勒比地区，亚洲，欧洲，中东和非洲进行了项目。在USU，灌溉工程专业的学生可以进行课堂教学，水力学实验，遥感等工作。他们还有机会进行现场工作。
The irrigation engineering program at USU has long been recognized as the best program of its kind in the nation, and possibly the world. Many of the prominent irrigation engineers in the United States and around the world are graduates of the USU program, and the program’s faculty continues a tradition of leadership in international development projects in several dozen countries across the globe. Projects have been conducted in Latin America, the Caribbean region, Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. At USU, irrigation engineering students are exposed to classroom instruction, laboratory work in hydraulics, remote-sensing, and more. They also have the opportunity to conduct field work.
