The faculty of Agricultural Engineering & Technology has to shoulder the responsibilities of increasing the capacity of the students of Agricultural Engineering and Food Engineering programmes for nation building activities. By providing high quality services to students, the faculty significantly contributes in improving the capabilities of its student and helps develop the country in the long run. Agricultural Engineering and Food Engineering implies the application of engineering principles to agriculture in order to boost up production to sustain the process of human development. As such it includes the areas of agricultural machinery, irrigation and water management, farm structures, post harvest technology, food processing and preservation, system analysis and computer science in agriculture. The Faculty of Agricultural Engineering & Technology of Bangladesh Agricultural University is the pioneer institution in the country to render such education in the country. The faculty has started implementing the new curricula and the syllabuses since 2002. It offers two separate degree programmes, one for B.Sc. Agricultural Engineering and another for B. Sc. Food Engineering. In additions each of the five comprising departments offers MS and PhD degrees.  The faculty of Agricultural Engineering & Technology has the following academic departments:  Department of Farm Structure & Environmental Engineering Department of Farm Power & Machinery Department of Irrigation & Water Management Department of Food Technology & Rural Industries Department of Computer Science & Mathematics Department of Physics   Currently the faculty of Agricultural Engineering & Technology is offering the following degree programs:  B.Sc. Agril. Engg. B.Sc. Food Engg. B.Sc. in Bioinformatics Engineering (Syllabus) M.S. Ph.D.
