Department of Agricultural Engineering

About the Department

The Department of Agricultural Engineering was established in 2023 and offers a 4-year B.Tech. Degree programme in Agricultural Engineering. The programme is designed to provide students with practical training in the latest technologies in agricultural engineering. The department is equipped with state-of-the-art laboratory facilities and has qualified faculty and technical staff members.

To impart practical knowledge of crop production from sowing to harvesting, the department has a 10-acre farm with a well-equipped plant breeding laboratory, greenhouses and an agro meteorological station.

The department has an exclusive agricultural machinery training centre, a fully automated and centralised irrigation system in the field and an agricultural processing laboratory where state-of-the-art technologies are demonstrated.

Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

PEO1: Apply strong foundations in Engineering, Agriculture, and Environmental Sciences to design and implement sustainable agricultural systems.

PEO2: Excel as competent agricultural engineers, entrepreneurs, researchers, or technologists by developing innovative solutions in farm mechanization, water resource management, renewable energy, and post-harvest technology.

PEO3: Demonstrate leadership, ethical responsibility, teamwork, and social commitment in addressing global food security and climate challenges.

PEO4: Engage in lifelong learning through higher education, research, professional certifications, and adaptation to emerging agri-technologies.

Programme Specific Outcomes (PSOs)

PSO1: Design and implement efficient farm mechanization systems, irrigation systems, soil and water conservation methods, and agricultural processing technologies using modern engineering tools.

PSO2: Apply emerging technologies such as IoT, AI, Remote Sensing, GIS, Drone Technology, and Renewable Energy Systems to improve agricultural productivity and sustainability.

PSO3: Develop innovative, climate-resilient, and economically viable agri-tech solutions and value-added agricultural products to support entrepreneurship and rural development.
