Introduction:
Agricultural Engineering as regarded as a branch of professional engineering which entails the application of engineering technology, chemical science, physical science and biological science to agriculture. Agricultural Engineering requires education and experience as in necessary to understand and apply engineering principles to design systems and equipment to mange numerous resources that provide food, fibers and protect/develop the environment now and for the future.
Also, Agricultural Engineering provides a broad and flexible engineering background. Vast of areas are covered in agricultural Engineering and related subjects such as Agricultural Power and Machinery; Agricultural Process Engineering; Food Engineering; Post-Harvest Engineering; Soil and Water Engineering; Environmental Engineering; Agricultural Structures and Environmental Control; Sensors and Control; Waste Management; Aquacultural Engineering; Animal Production Engineering and the Emerging Technology Areas of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Applications, Computer Based Simulation, Instrumentation and Process Control, CAD/CAM Systems, Biotechnology, Biological Engineering, Biosystems Engineering, Bioresources Engineering, Food Science and Technology, Physical Sciences, Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, Nanotechnology and Renewable Energy. In summary, it involves applied field of engineering and technology by which principles and practices of engineering sciences in agricultural and rural development are applied, with overall enhancement of agricultural of agricultural production, quality and management of natural resources.
