The Faculty of Agricultural Engineering and Technology (FAET) started as
the fifth faculty of Sylhet Agricultural University (SAU) on April 19, 2012,
with the orientation of students. FAET has five departments: Irrigation and
Water Management (IWM), Farm Power and Machinery (FPM), Food Engineering and
Technology (FET), Agricultural Construction and Environmental Engineering
(ACEE), and Computer Science and Engineering (CSE). The faculty provides a
"B. Sc. Agricultural Engineering" degree, and three (IWM, FPM,
and ACEE) departments within the faculty offer MS degree programs
individually in particular fields. These three departments, as well as Policy
under the faculty, offer doctoral programs. Agricultural engineering combines
civil engineering, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, electrical
engineering, food science, and agricultural science. The main objective of this
subject is to demonstrate sustainability and appropriate performance in
agricultural production.
Each department has highly qualified faculty members, well-established
departmental laboratories, and research workshops. FEAT faculty members aim to
produce quality engineers capable of contributing solutions to engineering
problems facing society through research; need-based academic programs,
outreach, and consultancy services train and produce high-quality agricultural
engineering graduates to solve problems in agriculture, focusing on the
adoption of specific engineering technologies and automation for research,
development, and improvement, especially in dryland and rainfed areas.
Agricultural Engineering in Agriculture has used irrigation systems
since its inception. Irrigation did not become widespread until the Industrial
Revolution. The invention of tractors and other agricultural machinery
accompanied a new agricultural revolution. Later mechanization and weaving
reduced manual cultivation in the 20th century. Later in the 20th century, crop
dusters made it easier to spray pesticides on crops. Applying all these
classical engineering concepts to agriculture led to a revolution called the
Second Agricultural Revolution.
Agricultural engineers have played many roles in the incredible
development of agriculture. The field of agricultural engineers is increasing
day by day. Agricultural engineers have been providing expertise in various
sectors to meet the need for agricultural technology. Bangladesh Nuclear
Agricultural Research Institute, Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI),
Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Bangladesh Agricultural
Research Council, Bangladesh Power Development Board, Bangladesh Rural
Development Academy, Directorate of Agricultural Extension (DAE), Bangladesh
Standards and Testing Institute, Bangladesh Petroleum Exploration and
Production Company, and Rural Development Academy (RDA)—apart from Janata
Engineering, Alim Industry, ACI, Syngenta, and Qazi Farms—all agricultural
machinery manufacturing private companies have job opportunities. On the other
hand, students with good results get jobs in government and private banks and
become university teachers. If your CGPA is good, you can efficiently study and
live permanently in different countries, including Europe and America.
The faculty constantly strives to improve and update its academic and
research programs. Any professional suggestions and valuable compliments for
further improving this faculty's educational and research activities will be
highly appreciated.
