Engineering Technology - Agricultural Systems Management

The engineering technology - agricultural systems management (ASM) option builds skills in machinery management via a foundation in agricultural economics, machinery systems and precision agriculture. As farming operations grow larger and more complex, there is a rising demand in the areas of precision agriculture and skilled machinery. As a graduate of this program, you'll be equipped to work with producers to help them use their electronics or you might work with machinery, farmers, sales teams or financial analysts to select the most cost-effective lineup of machinery for a particular farming operation. You'll develop hands-on skills in machinery management, machinery operation, decision-making, economics and precision agriculture. Over 1000 paid internships are typically available through the College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences (CAFES), so you can apply those skills as early as your sophomore year.
