Agricultural Engineer
Agricultural Engineers use their knowledge of engineering principles and practices to develop ways to improve crop production and water management. They may design irrigation systems, irrigation channels, dams, drainage networks, and other water management systems. They may also be involved in the design and implementation of soil management systems, including soil preparation techniques, land reclamation methods, crop protection systems, and soil fertility management. Agricultural Engineers analyze crop yields and assess potential risks associated with farming practices, such as plant disease or pest infestations. They also coordinate with government regulations and industry standards in order to maintain safe and efficient agricultural practices. People enjoy being an Agricultural Engineer because they are able to help bring about improvements to the agricultural industry. They get to use their knowledge to develop new ways to improve crop production and water management. They are also in a position to be a voice for the environment, using their engineering expertise to create sustainable farming solutions.
