Agricultural Engineers
Career Snapshot
Creating a flood control system for a city endangered by a river, planning a farm of the future for a major corporation, and managing the production of novel plant strains are just a few of the many professions available to an agricultural engineer. This is a lifelong career that requires training at an engineering school or college department.
If you want to work in research and development, you could pursue a master's or Ph.D. It is necessary to have an aptitude for science and technology, as well as good oral and writing communication skills and the capacity to identify, analyse, and solve problems.
You could end up working in a forest, laboratory, or design office, or on a farm or research station. Though your work will involve growing and living things, your primary focus will be on the design, manufacturing, and construction of machinery and equipment, structures, and facilities that improve crop and livestock production, food processing techniques, or problems related to the use and conservation of soil, water, and forest resources.
You should also be familiar with computers. Your work could have a significant impact on society. Agricultural engineers study all elements of plant and food production. From national parks to specialist greenhouses, we have it all.
Indeed, advancements in production techniques such as genetic engineering and cloning can make agricultural engineers famous. As the world's population expands, so will the demand for agricultural engineers' services.
