What Do Engineers Do?
Agriculture Engineering
As an agricultural engineer, you may...
- design and develop new water systems to optimize crop production throughout the world while protecting scarce natural resources;
- devise electronic instruments and methods for testing quality and safety of food and fiber products and their packaging;
- lead teams in developing machines that work in various environments around the world to optimize the production of food, fiber and biological products; or
- design reliable systems of waste treatment and utilization and insect control for production systems where environmental lapses could endanger food supply.
Agricultural engineers apply knowledge of engineering technology and science to agriculture and the efficient use of biological resources. In addition to creating advances in farming and agriculture, agricultural engineers apply engineering design and analysis to protecting natural resources, develop power systems to support agriculture, and provide environmental controls.
