B.Tech. Agricultural Engineering

To impart the students the fundamentals of soil mechanics and to enable the students to

understand the basic, index and engineering properties of soil.

 To equip the students to understand the properties and behavior of soil for the design

of foundations, earth and earth retaining structures.

The main objective is to study the causes of erosion, how to reduce erosion and other forms of

soil degradation by using land in accordance with its capabilities. Proper application of

different soil and water conservation measures to restore the productivity of the soil where it

has been damaged. It is also helps to combine sound methods of soil management with other

methods and inputs of modern agriculture to obtain satisfactory production on a sustained

basis

This course is intended for enabling the students to get a detailed understanding of  various water harvesting techniques and water conservation structures. 

The main objective of this course is;

-To familiarise the water harvesting techniques based on source, storage and use and also introduce the soil and water conservation structures. 

-To impart awareness on the design requirements, planning for design, design procedures such as hydrologic, hydraulic and structural design and stability analysis of different structures.

 The student will get a comprehensive idea about watershed management.

The student will be capable of planning and execution of watershed management projects.

1.To provide exposure to students in gaining knowledge on concepts and applications leading to modeling of earth resources management using Remote Sensing,GIS and GPS technologies .

2.To aquire skill in storing ,managing digital data for planning and development.

This course is intended to provide students with basic understanding of the theory and practice of engineering surveying and levelling techniques. Helps the students to apply the knowledge gained from theoretical surveying to practice and it is expected to gain valuable insight into surveying and levelling after completion of the course.  

• To introduce the principle of surveying. 
• To impart awareness on the various fields of surveying and types of instruments.  
• To understand the various method of surveying and computation required in the field of agriculture.
  

This course is aimed to equip students for developing engineered solutions and efficient management practices that can protect and conserve the vital natural resources viz. soil and water.

The objectives of the course are;

• to study the causes of erosion, how to reduce erosion and other forms of soil degradation by using land in accordance with its capabilities. 
• to help students in gaining knowledge about appropriate soil and water conservation measures to restore the productivity of the soil where it has been damaged. 
• to earn knowledge on combining sound methods of soil management with other methods and inputs of modern agriculture to obtain satisfactory production on a sustained basis.
