Agricultural Engineering III is an advanced module designed to equip learners with technical skills and applied knowledge in modern farm engineering systems. The module focuses on the operation, maintenance, and management of agricultural machinery, farm structures, and soil and water engineering technologies.
Learners explore advanced concepts in farm power, mechanization, irrigation systems, farm buildings, post-harvest equipment, and environmental conservation. Practical sessions emphasize hands-on skills in machinery servicing, calibration of equipment, construction and maintenance of farm structures, and efficient use of water and soil resources in agricultural production.
Upon completion of this module, learners should be able to:
Operate and maintain various agricultural machines and implements safely.
Apply engineering principles to design, construct, and manage farm structures.
Use appropriate technologies for soil and water conservation and irrigation.
Apply mechanization techniques to improve productivity and sustainability.
Conduct troubleshooting and repairs on common farm equipment.
Promote safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible engineering practices.
Target Group: TVET/CBET learners in agriculture, agricultural engineering, general agriculture, or farm management programs.
