The agricultural engineering programme aims at producing high level man power who combines the knowledge of agriculture and engineering to improve the land thereby enhancing the productivity of food and fiber. Graduates of the programme are expected to use their expertise to play a leading role in solving national food problems. The programmes are therefore designed to emphasize four main areas.

I. Farm power and machinery

II. Soil and water engineering

III. Farm structures

IV. Processing and storage

The programme allows sufficient interaction with other related professions in engineering and agriculture to gain skills needed in the field. Both general and specialized skills gained by graduates of the agricultural engineering programme will help them be in control of resources, human and material, needed in the food production sector. Practical’s as well as the theorical aspects of the programme are adequately addressed.
