Bachelor of Engineering [B.Eng] [Agricultural Engineering] From Purdue University

Agricultural engineers use GPS satellite positioning to control construction and agricultural vehicles with auto guidance accuracy of 1 cm. They are developing biotech sensors to monitor plant and seed DNA to improve national security and produce high-value pharmacological crops. Agricultural engineers are leaders in creating and adding sensors to vehicles subjected to hostile environments. In this program, you'll gain background in mechanical design, hydraulics, instrumentation and control, finite element analysis, electronics and sensors to design, develop, analyze and operate machines and systems for agricultural and biological products and processes, materials handling, construction and mining, forestry, lawn-care and food and fiber production and processing.
