Agricultural engineering technology is a part of the broad discipline of agricultural engineering that bridges two fields of applied sciences: agriculture and engineering. Agricultural engineering technology is the application of engineering techniques in such areas as production mechanization, energy, soil and water conservation, plant and animal environments, agricultural waste management, processing and storage, and building construction. This requires a knowledge of physical and natural sciences and technical skills to support engineering activities.
This agricultural engineering technology curriculum is designed to prepare students for engineering-related employment in agricultural industries. A scientific or business background may be obtained according to the student's interest through the selection of electives here at SUNY Cobleskill.
