Why Study Agricultural Engineering - Machinery Systems?
Major | Agriculture Engineering/Engineering/Agriculture | CAFES
The agricultural engineering - machinery systems (MS) emphasis provides students with a foundation in off-road and agricultural machinery, engines, hydraulics, instrumentation and controls, electronics and sensors in order to design, analyze and operate the machinery that harvests, handles, stores and processes the world's agricultural, forestry and food products.
Program Details
Internships are a key way to put skills learned in the classroom to use while gaining invaluable hands-on experience. The College of Agriculture, Food and Environmental Sciences (CAFES) maintains a strong internship program with students being placed at companies throughout the Midwest. Internship partners include companies like Case-IH, Bobcat, New Holland, Adecco and Mac-Don.

The engineering program set me up to excel in my current role. There was a nice distribution of the hands-on classes that relate to things I do on a daily basis, as well as classes to teach me the fundamentals of engineering. I was also involved in several clubs in the department that contributed to my growth at UWRF. [They] were a great opportunity to learn how to work in a team to achieve goals.
