Agricultural engineering
involves the application of engi
neering principles to all phases of
agricultural production, food pro
cessing, and management of our
natural resources. Agricultural
engineers work in research, deve
lopment. design, testing, manage*
ment, sales, and education.
Areas of emphasis within agri
cultural engineering include;
• Soil and water management
for efficient crop production,
waste handling, and environmen
tal quality.
• Food engineering for process-
