M.Tech. Agricultural Engineering

To provide exposure of new cutting-edge technologies to the students in design of drip and sprinkler irrigation systems including selection of pipe and fertigation techniques

To equip the library users with skills to trace information from libraries efficiently, to apprise them of information and knowledge resources, to carry out literature survey, to formulate information search strategies, and to use modern tools (Internet, OPAC, search engines, etc.) of information search.

To understand the bio-conversion technologies and fuels system, types of biomass derived fuels and energy, thermo-chemical conversion of biomass to heat and power, value adding of agro-residues.

To expose students to various statistical techniques for analysis of data and interpretation of results

Objective

This course is designed as a supportive course for the PG programme in Agricultural Engineering. The course content is designed to deal with one of the most important aspects of environmental engineering ie 'Water'. In the present day world, one of the most discussed and debated topics is environmental pollution and quality deterioration of the worthy and valuable natural resources. In this context, this course on water quality and pollution intends to impart knowledge to the emerging engineers on various aspects like water demand assessment, quality monitoring, measurements, purification, water quality standards, and pollution control. Awareness is also created on the quality aspects and treatment processes for wastewater from domestic and industrial sources and pollution modelling.

To acquaint and equip students with the advances in soil and water conservation measures, use of RS and GIS and Software’s for design of soil and water conservation structures.
