Program Overview
The program aims to develop engineers who can lead and advance modern agriculture through precision technology, helping farmers improve both the quantity and quality of their products while reducing costs. Students learn through a combination of theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience, tackling real-world problems from industry practitioners (Problem-Based Learning). The program also fosters critical thinking and design thinking skills, encouraging students to learn independently in a systematic and continuous way, guided by a growth mindset.
The Smart Agricultural Engineering program is designed to produce engineers, innovators, inventors, and entrepreneurs who are highly sought after in the agricultural production industry. Graduates of this program possess up-to-date knowledge and skills, enabling them to apply their expertise to create and develop inventions and innovations for the agricultural sector—from farm cultivation to the consumer. Examples include technologies for plant factories and greenhouses, modern irrigation system design, agricultural robotics, precision farming systems, machinery design, artificial intelligence, mechatronic systems, unmanned aerial vehicles for agriculture, measurement tools, Internet of Things (IoT) applications in agriculture, material handling engineering, product quality control, and commercial agricultural management.
