Agricultural Engineering is the engineering discipline that applies engineering science and technology to agricultural production and processing. Agricultural engineering combines the disciplines of mechanical, civil, electrical and chemical engineering principles with a knowledge of agricultural principles. Students who enroll in for Agricultural Engineering learn aspects such as surveying and land profiling, climatology and atmospheric science, soil management and conservation, including erosion and erosion control, seeding, tillage, harvesting, and processing of crops, livestock production, including poultry, fish, and dairy animals, waste management, including agricultural residues, and fertilizer runoff, food engineering and the processing of agricultural products.

Agriculture Engineering is a technologically sophisticated field that offers bright career prospects and opportunity in any country around the world, and in various sectors. Some of the higher study options for the B.Tech graduates in agriculture are: M.Tech in Agricultural Engg, M.Tech in Farm Machinery and Power Engg, M.Tech in Renewable Energy, M.Tech in Crop Production, M.Sc in Rural Technology, PhD in Agri-Informatics, PhD in Rural Technology. Design of agricultural machinery, equipment, and agricultural structures are various job profiles for Agricultural Engineers. Well-paid careers are available for qualified agricultural engineers in government and public sector organizations, agribusiness firms, food processing and retail industry, research organizations and laboratories, banks and financial corporations, central and state government organizations and private firms.
