The academic content and curriculum of the Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Machinery and Technology Engineering is designed to provide students with in-depth knowledge in the design, operation and maintenance of agricultural machinery and technologies. The curriculum of the program offers a wide range of courses starting from basic sciences to engineering principles and applied agricultural technologies.
Basic Science Courses: In the first years of the program, students take basic science courses such as mathematics, physics and chemistry. These courses form the basis of the skills to analyze and solve engineering problems.
Engineering Foundation Courses: Students also take basic engineering courses such as engineering mechanics, materials science, electrical circuits. These courses provide the foundations of engineering disciplines and give students the capacity to understand more advanced technical subjects.
Specialized Agricultural Machinery Courses: In advanced semesters, more specialized courses such as agricultural machinery design, agricultural structures and irrigation systems are included in the program. In these courses, students learn the mechanical systems of agricultural machinery, their energy requirements and their use in various agricultural operations.
Agricultural Technologies and Management: Topics such as agribusiness, agricultural product processing technologies and technological solutions to increase productivity in agricultural enterprises are also included in the courses. These courses provide students with a comprehensive understanding of technological developments in the agricultural sector and their impact on agricultural production.
Laboratory and Practical Studies: The curriculum includes extensive laboratory and field practicals to reinforce theoretical knowledge. Students reinforce their knowledge by working on real-world agricultural machinery and performing hands-on projects in a variety of agricultural settings.
Capstone Project: In the last year of the program, students usually do a capstone project. This project allows students to bring together the knowledge they have learned during their education and make an independent study on a real problem.
These courses and activities aim to provide students with the theoretical knowledge and practical experience necessary for a career in agricultural machinery and technology. Furthermore, graduates of this program become competent in promoting sustainable production methods by effectively using technology in the agricultural sector.
