AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING

ABOUT PROGRAM

Department of Agriculture Engineering offers 4 years BE- Agriculture Engineering Degree programme. To impart the knowledge on crop cultivation aspects from seed to harvest, the department has a farm along with well-equipped soil science, Agriculture Metrology and Crop Husbandry labs with highly qualified Teaching Faculty. This Department has fully modernized Food and Agricultural Processing Laboratory, latest Soil and Water Modeling Software. Fully centralized on-field irrigation system gives the option of using different irrigation systems. The department offers hands-on training for students from first year onwards on the latest agricultural engineering technologies.

VISION & MISSION

Vision

To produce quality excellence in Agricultural Engineering Education, Research and Extension for Sustainable Agricultural Development and Livelihood security of farming community

Mission

  • To be a center of excellence in teaching, research and extension education in the disciplines of farm machineries, irrigation systems, food processing and renewable energies
  • To educate and train the future professionals to face various agricultural challenges due to global changing scenario
  • To discover and improve new technologies for stake holders based on integrated approach

PROGRAM EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES (PEOS)

PEO1:To provide a sound theoretical knowledge in engineering principles applied to agriculture

PEO2: To prepare students for a successful agricultural engineering carrier integrating all aspects of engineering in agriculture

PEO3: To develop innovative capacity of students for increasing agricultural production with scarce water resources available

PROGRAMME OUTCOMES (POS)

PO1.  Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems.

PO2. : Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences.

PO3. Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.

PO4. Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.

PO5.  Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.

PO6. Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.

PO7.  Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.

PO8. Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.

PO9.  Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.

PO10.  Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.

PO11. Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.

PO12. Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.

PROGRAM SPECIFIC OUTCOMES (PSOs)

PSO1: Survey, scrutinize, design and develop agriculture systems to promote a sustainable agriculture with high yield with less utilization of resources.

PSO2: Develop engineering models, prototypes, envisioning large scale cultivation on diverse and adverse environments to promote crop production.

HOD DESK
