About
Agricultural Engineering is the branch of engineering which deals with the construction, design, and improvement of farming equipment and machinery. Agricultural engineering integrates technology into farming. For example, it designs new and refined farming equipment that works more efficiently.
Career
Most Agriculture engineers design and test agricultural equipment, machinery, and parts. They design food processing plants and food storage structures. Some also design housing and environments for livestock. They plan and oversee land reclamation projects on farms. Some are involved in agricultural waste-to-energy projects and carbon sequestration. We have elaborated on the work profiles of agriculture engineers in the later part of this article.
Most agricultural engineers (17%)were employed in engineering, architectural, and related services. 16% were employed by the government. Another 14% worked in food manufacturing. 13%worked in agriculture, construction, and mining machinery manufacturing. Another 6% were working as educators.
Agricultural engineers work both indoors and outdoors. They spend time in offices creating plans and managing projects, and in agricultural settings inspecting sites, monitoring equipment, and overseeing reclamation and water management projects.
These engineers may also work in laboratories and classrooms. They may collaborate with others to plan and solve problems. For example, they may work with horticulturalists, agronomists, animal scientists, and geneticists.
