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.
