APPLIED AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING
Do you enjoy working with equipment or designing new systems? Do you wonder how things work? If so, consider the Power, Structural and Technical Systems pathway. Professionals in these fields apply knowledge of engineering, hydraulics, pneumatics, electronics, power, structures and controls to the field of agriculture.
The Applied Agricultural Engineering program of study explores the occupations and educational opportunities associated with applying knowledge of engineering technology and biological science to agricultural problems concerned with power and machinery, electrification, structures, soil and water conservation, and processing agricultural products. This program of study may also include exploration into diagnosing, repairing, or overhauling farm machinery and vehicles, such as tractors, harvesters, dairy equipment, and irrigation systems.
