Agricultural Engineering

Agricultural Engineering atPolitecnico di Milano trains engineers operating in the agro-industrial sector with a vision of the technological aspects of the agro-industrial chain, highly qualified technicians able to implement the available technologies to ensure the sustainability, safety and traceability of productions, to integrate agricultural robotics systems.

The objective of this Agricultural Engineering courseat the Politecnico di Milano is to prepare culturally and professionally highly qualified technicians able to implement the available technologies to ensure the sustainability, safety and traceability of agro-industrial productions, to design and integrate automation, to monitor agricultural robotics systems, to use Big Data analysis and Artificial Intelligence.

By using these tools, the Agricultural Engineer aims at improving yields and control over safety requirements, at designing intelligent irrigation systems, at reaching the optimal economic management of farms and of the connected supply chain.

Careers

Thanks to his solid and transversal training, the Agricultural Engineer can find employment mainly in the industry of the agricultural production chain; in engineering companies that design, develop and implement processes, plants and technologies to support production, distribution and marketing related to agriculture and agro-industry; in research centers and public and private laboratories; in technical structures of the public administration and in consultancy offices for the environment, safety, agricultural and livestock production.
