AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY

 

The Agricultural Engineering Technology Program is designed to educate a student in the repair, service, operation, and marketing of equipment used in agricultural production, industrial applications, and turfgrass management. This program of study is intended to provide young men and women with the education needed for entry-level positions in both the agricultural and industrial equipment areas. A student will also have received sufficient courses in the general education area to allow for rising to middle management level positions. Typical employment opportunities include parts manager, service manager, or service representative. Upon completion of the program of study, the student is eligible for the Associate of Applied Science degree in Agricultural Engineering Technology.

A grade of less than C indicates a level of knowledge that is unacceptable in a professional field. A student is required to earn a C or better in all AENG/AENT courses.
