Agricultural Engineering

Engineering for agriculture requires a unique approach, weaving together aspects of mechanical and civil engineering in a practical, solution-oriented manner. Working on farm projects requires a knowledge of how farmers operate and a willingness to learn from their practical experience in delivering a solution.
