The Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Mechanization and Irrigation Engineering is a 4 year program, aims at training students in the application of engineering principles to solving problems of production and research on man power, machinery, structures, land development and soil and water management in relationship to food and fibre production. Such training that also focuses on hands-on-skills will expose students to the technological and mechanical aspects of farming. Among other things, students will study engineering design, construction, improvement and maintenance of agricultural equipment and electrical power. At the same time, the training in will also expose students to engineering design, installation and maintenance of irrigation, drainage, and erosion control systems and structures for optimum crop growth.
