The Agricultural Engineering Department is one of the four (4) academic departments under the Faculty of Engineering running three (3) programmes, namely; Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) in Agricultural Engineering, HND (CBT) in Agricultural Engineering and Agricultural Engineering Technician. The Department trains students on the application and practices that facilitate agricultural production and lessen the related drudgery in agriculture. The programmes run in the department aim at equipping students to meet the challenges in the agricultural value chain. As a Technical University, we support students in acquiring industry skill by undertaking industrial attachment in order to augment the practical skill and theoretical training.
The Bachelor of Technology (BTech.) programme is structured as a post-HND qualification. The HND programme is run on a Competency Based Training (CBT) system which is hands-on, student-centered, task-based and competency-oriented. Students graduate with specialization in Post-harvest Technology, Mechanization and Machinery and Soil and Water Engineering options. At the non-tertiary level, the department admits students for Agricultural Engineering Technician I.
Agricultural Engineering Department, in collaboration with other institutions and industry aims at providing specialized education and training in the engineering sciences and its applications to agriculture to enable graduates meet the industrial challenges of the engineering profession in a rapidly changing environment.
