Historical NoteReturn to Top
The Department of Agricultural Engineering was first organized in 1909. In 1926 a four year professional course began, the work being jointly administered by the Deans of the College of Agriculture and the College of Engineering. The divided administration remains in 1983. The College of Engineering administers the curriculum; the College of Agriculture administers the research and the Cooperative Extension work. Students enrolled in the department are from both colleges. Some graduate from the College of Engineering with a degree in Agricultural Engineering. Others graduate from the College of Agriculture with a Farm Mechanization specialty.
