Agricultural Engineering Technology
Overview
Agricultural engineering technology graduates are prepared for careers as well as graduate study in agricultural engineering technology and management, biological systems engineering, biomedical engineering and medicine.
Agriculture engineering technology majors explore how science can be used to build structures and machines and program computers and other devices to enhance the life cycle of plants and animals and increase their utility to humans. Faculty train students to apply scientific, engineering and management knowledge toward the solutions of problems associated with sustaining and improving agricultural systems. Instruction also focuses on developing good communication skills in reading, writing, speaking and use of computer information technology.
