Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Engineering

When the knowledge of engineering and biological science is applied to agriculture, it is called Agricultural Engineering (AE).

The  Agricultural Engineering curriculum is a general engineering program. This versatile engineering program combines the principles of mechanical, electrical, civil, and chemical engineering to prepare men and women for professional careers in both agricultural and non-agricultural industries. Activities in these careers may involve design of machinery and equipment (mechanical); structural and environmental design (civil); water and soil management (civil); processing, manufacturing, and quality measurement (mechanical, chemical, and electrical); and controls, energy use, microelectronics and electrical machines and equipment (electrical).

The AE  graduates will be trained how to apply knowledge of engineering and biological science to agriculture, how to design agricultural machinery and equipment and agricultural structures, how to develop ways to conserve soil and water and to improve the processing of agricultural products and how to work in research and development, production, sales and management.

OBJECTIVES:
  1. Train students in the application of engineering principles particularly in the solution of problems related to agro-industrial development;
  2. Prepare students to become professionals with entry-level competencies into engineering design, agro-industrial development, operation and services including teaching and research.
  3. Develop appreciation in the students, of the potentials of an agricultural engineering business enterprise;
  4. Instill in the students a concern for the preservation and protection of the natural environment; and social consciousness; and
  5. Prepare students for advanced studies.

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES:

In three (3) to five (5) years after graduation, BS Agricultural Engineering are:

  1. Competent in demonstrating advance research, development, innovation and technology transfer responsive to the needs of the society.
  2. Proficient in the preparation of plans, design, evaluation and implementation of agricultural systems and    facilities.
  3.  Effective engineers responsive in addressing issues, professionalism, cultural diversity, globalization, and environmental impact, social and economic impact in agricultural engineering practice.
  4. Graduate of higher professional education to pursue life-long learning.

PROGRAM OUTCOMES:
  1. Apply knowledge of mathematics, physical sciences to the practice of Agricultural Engineering.
  2. Design and conduct experiments to test hypotheses and verify assumptions, as well as to organize, analyze and interpret data, draw valid conclusions, and develop mathematical models for processes.
  3. Design, improve, innovate, and to supervise systems or procedures to meet desired needs within realistic constraints.
  4. Work effectively in multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural teams in diverse fields of practice.
  5. Formulate and solve Agricultural Engineering problems.
  6. Evaluate the effects and the impact of the agricultural engineering profession on the environment and the society, as well as the social and ethical responsibilities of the profession.
  7. Demonstrate specialized knowledge in at least one focus area of Agricultural engineering practice and the ability to apply such knowledge to provide solutions to actual problems.
  8. Execute effective oral and written communications particularly in the English language.
  9. Engage in life-long learning and to keep current of the development in a specific field of specialization.
  10. Develop appropriate techniques, skills and tools necessary for the practice of agricultural engineering.
  11. Interpret contemporary issues under the program.
  12. Execute engineering and management principles as a member and leader in a team, as well as to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
