 Agricultural engineers solve problems concerning power supplies, machine efficiency, the use of structures and facilities, pollution and environmental issues, and the storage and processing of agricultural products. They also apply their
knowledge of engineering technology and science to agriculture and the
efficient use of biological resources. Some engineers specialize in areas such as power
systems and machinery design, structural and environmental engineering, and
food and bioprocess engineering.
They develop ways to
conserve soil and water and to improve the processing of agricultural
products. Agricultural engineers often work in research and development,
production, sales, or management.
