Agricultural Engineering Technology

Agricultural Engineering Technology Associate of Science

Agricultural Engineering Technology students receive broad agricultural training with a science, technology, and business emphasis. In addition to a foundation of chemistry, physics, and calculus, students develop skills and knowledge in machining, welding, surveying, Solidworks, soil science, and financial accounting. The Agricultural Engineering Technology program also prepares students for transfer to programs such as the BS in Agricultural Systems Management at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. Additional transfer opportunities to university programs outside California are available via the Western Undergraduate Exchange. Students interested in transferring should contact a counselor or educational advisor. Upon completion of graduation requirements and the required degree courses with at least a "C" or "P" (pass) grade in each course, the student will be eligible for an Associate of Science degree.

Program Learning Outcomes

• 1. Upon successful completion of the program, the student will be able to apply the knowledge, techniques, skills, and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, business, and technology to solve well-defined agricultural engineering problems.

• 2. Upon successful completion of the program, the student will be able to design solutions for well-defined technical problems and assist with the engineering design of systems, components, or processes appropriate to the agricultural engineering technology.

• 3. Upon successful completion of the program, the student will be able to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in well-defined technical and non-technical environments related to the agriculture industry.

• 4. Upon successful completion of the program, the student will be able to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes in agricultural engineering.

• 5. Upon successful completion of the program, the student will be able to function effectively as a member of a technical team on agricultural engineering projects.
