Agricultural Engineering
Empowering Agriculture through Innovative Engineering Solutions.
The Department of Agricultural Engineering was started in the year 2020 to offer a Bachelor of Engineering in Agricultural Engineering. The Department offers a 4-year B.E. Degree course in Agricultural Engineering. The syllabi and course structure are as per the guidelines of Anna University. The Agricultural Engineering department was established in 2020 with an intake of 30 students. Agricultural Engineering in the area of engineering is concerned with the Design, Construction, and Improvement of Farming Equipment and Machinery. Agricultural Engineers integrate technology with farming and use the latest technology to meet the challenges of environmental issues and activities. Students are provided the opportunity to have hands-on experience regarding Machine components and equipment, testing agricultural machinery to ensure safety and performance, and providing exposure to water and environmental concerns.
The Agricultural Engineering department aims to produce well informed technocrats, who will be able to integrate engineering and technology inventions with farming and contribute towards sustainable growth in agricultural production across the globe.
