Career Path Forecast
 According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
agricultural engineers are expected to have employment growth of 9
percent over the projections decade of 2006-2016.
This is about as fast
as the average for all occupations. More engineers will be needed to
meet the increasing demand for using biosensors to determine the optimal
treatment of crops. Employment growth should also result from the need
to increase crop yields to feed an expanding population and produce
crops used as renewable energy sources. Moreover, engineers will be
needed to develop more efficient agricultural production and conserve
resources.
