Have you ever thought about how combining engineering with agriculture could change Nigeria’s farms, food production systems, and even our environment for the better? Agricultural Engineering is one of those courses that lets you do just that—design farm machines, improve irrigation systems, manage soil and water, and innovate in food processing. For students who prefer a more hands-on, technical route, polytechnics offer a great way in. If you’re considering studying Agricultural Engineering, but you’re not sure which polytechnics offer the course, what subjects to choose for JAMB, or what grades you need in your O’Level exams, you’re in luck. In this blog, I’ll walk you through: Some polytechnics in Nigeria that offer Agricultural Engineering / Agricultural Engineering Technology The JAMB/UTME subject combination required when applying to such programmes And the O’Level requirements (WAEC/NECO etc.),
##What is Agricultural Engineering Course?
Agricultural and Environmental Engineering applies engineering principles to farming, food processing, and the management of biological systems to improve efficiency and sustainability, while also addressing the environmental impact of agricultural practices and developing sustainable solutions
