 Agricultural
engineers apply their knowledge of engineering technology and
science to agriculture and the efficient use of biological resources.
Accordingly, they also are referred to as biological and agricultural
engineers. They design agricultural machinery, equipment, sensors,
processes, and structures, such as those used for crop storage. Some
engineers specialize in areas such as power systems and machinery
design, structural and environmental engineering, and food and
bioprocess engineering.
 They
develop ways to conserve soil and water and to improve the processing of
agricultural products. Agricultural engineers often work in research and
development, production, sales, or management.
