THE ENGINEERING ALPHABET: AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING

Agricultural engineers design farm and food processing equipment, construct crop storage and livestock buildings, and develop systems for drainage, irrigation, and waste disposal. Sometimes agricultural engineers work in labs like EPCOT's Land Pavilion, where they experiment with promising indoor farming techniques such as hydroponics-the science of growing plants in fluids without dirt.
