Programme

Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Mechanization and Irrigation Engineering

The Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Mechanization and Irrigation Engineering program teaches learners how to integrate engineering principles to production problems and conduct research on manpower, machinery, structures, land development, and soil and water management in relation to crop and fiber production. This kind of training, additionally is one that demonstrates hands-on skills, that exposes students to the technological and mechanical aspects of farming. Students will acquire knowledge about Engineering design, Construction, Improvement and maintenance of Agricultural equipment, as well as Electrical power. At the same time, students are learning about the Engineering design, installation, and Maintenance of Irrigation, Drainage, and Erosion control systems and structures for optimum crop growth.
