  • PEO-3: To produce the good farm machinery with strong fundamentals and work in accompany with industries and research organisation as team members in inventing new technologies in agricultural engineering on multi-disciplinary projects.

Programme’s PSO’s,

  • 1: Apply principles of basic sciences, crop husbandry, surveying, post harvesting, renewable energy and to identify, formulate and solve real time problems and societal issues for the sustainable development.
  • 2: Develop their abilities to qualify for Employment, Higher studies and Research in Agricultural Engineering.

Programme’s PO’s,

  • Engineering knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization to the solution of complex engineering problems
  • Problem analysis: Identify, formulate, review research literature, and analyze complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences.
  • Design/development of solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for the public health and safety, and the cultural, societal and environmental considerations.
  • Conduct investigations of complex problems: Use research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions.
  • Modern tool usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modeling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations.
  • The engineer and society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice.
  • Environment and sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for sustainable development.
  • Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice.
  • Individual and team work: Function effectively as an individual and as a member or leader in diverse teams, and in multidisciplinary settings.
  • Communication: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
  • Project management and finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments.
  • Life-long learning: Recognize the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change

VALUE ADDED COURSES

ACADEMIC YEAR 2019 – 2020

Seed testing and quality regulation

  • Seed testing is determining the standards of a seed lot viz., physical purity, moisture, germination and ODV and thereby enabling the farming community to get quality seeds. The Seed Testing Laboratory is the hub of seed quality control.

Robotics and drone’s application for plant

  • Robots and drones play an important role in agriculture, horticulture and nature conservation. They replace the senses of farmers, and come into action with Swiss precision. With the use of a robot or other forms of Smart Farming, less energy and raw materials are required, unattractive working conditions are avoided and revenues are higher and of better quality.

Hydroponics:

  • Hydroponics is a type of Horticulture and a subset of hydroculture, which is a method of growing plants without soil, by using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent.

Fundamentals of plant breeding and genetics:

  • MPlant breeding, application of genetic principles to produce plants that are more useful to humans.Such processes, repeated over many generations, can change the hereditary makeup and value of a plant population far beyond the natural limits of previously existing populations.

Robotics Process Automation (RPA) Tools

  • Robotic Process Automation saves time and human efforts to a major extent. It is a time saver and a cost-effective one too. Important features of robotic process automation include platform independence, scalability, and intelligence. Robotic Process Automation (RPA), a technology that uses software robots to automate repetitive tasks and manual processes—enhancing the work of your employees by interacting with websites, business and desktop applications, databases and people to execute repetitive and often mundane work.
