I studied Agricultural Engineering and I graduated in 2009. I'm thinking of changing career to pure Mechanical Engineering bt my Prof. is advising me not to because of my excellent background in Agricultural Engr. What is ur experiences out there in terms of job and career. |

Wow, 11 views no comment. Let us feel free and say something even if u are not in dat line again. U don't knw who will learn or gain from ur experience. Thank u |

Agric Engineering is good but if you have an opportunity to change to Mechanical, I'll say you should go for it. With a Mechanical degree, you are given a chance to work in more engineering fields than one with Agric. Eng. Just look at it this way; a Mech Engr could be employed to do your job but it's quite hard to employ you to do his job. |

Hi, I also studied agric engineering . I graduated 2010, I love the and i can die for it . Please follow the advice of ur lecturer,he knows more than u do and as for the man that comment on this . See is only in Nigeria that will abuse good thing ,agric engineer is far better than mechanical in the world but its otherwise in Nigeria . Am not saying this to console myself becos am not in that line now,but I will still go into it . Agric engineer is the best course that one could ever studied in life . Thanks 8 Likes 1 Share |

But Nigeria factor is pulling us down from d zenith that will belong. Also d successful ones(Agric Engineers) that supposed 2 be championing d campain and be of help are no where 2 be found. Imagine graduating with a best result still strugling 2 get a job even after passing all sort of psychometric tests. If I actually follow my Prof. advice, I will end up in academics. Thank u guys (both in support and against) really appreciate. More comments and ur experiences will be highly appreciated. |

Hello, I studied Agric Engr (Soil & Water Engr option). Though I have been in d bank since three months after NYSC, am gearing up for an M.Sc in Soil & Water still (anticipating an admission this year). @ Topic: The Nigerian factor has actually made the career seem "non-lucrative". I am a member of ASABE and I know what's happening over there. But my take on it is, even in Nigeria, one will make it heavy when one gets into private practice. There are unlimited opportunities. Soil & water, Farm Power & Mach, Bio Resources, Alternative energy, Food processing and on and on. i'll advise you stick and make shape your life. Don't be discouraged and carried away. 2.

Whao, i feel so honouréd to c this forum and the qùality of response. I am a grádùte of Agricultural Engineering (soil and water option). Honestly, if i wil av to write jamb again 100 times, i wil go for this course again. Y? Its gives me the priviledge of lèarning something about everytin and evrytin abt somtin. I thnk we sú nt júdge by d present Nigerìa sitùation, the future of Agric Engineering is bright. Its a matter of time 2 Likes |

Before u can talk of specialization it will be in d advanced stage of ur education i.e Masters level. Bt at undergraduate level u may ask to choose some optional courses in either soil&water engr, power&machinery or processing and storage engr. Bt in some school, u will do all d courses it is only ur project dat will be in either of d specializations. Hope dis helps. |

brodas it aint easy out there with a degree in agric. eng. its frustrating but i dont regret it. anyways if you wanna continue with AGE in your M.sc, no qualms. but if not, switch to a closely related discipline that favourable in the labour market. You own your life. nobody decide what you gonna be. just be wise in ideas collection and implementation. Cheers>>>>>Greatest SAES 2009... FUTO 3 Likes |

Agricultural Economics is a branch or specialization under Agricultural Science. It has nofin to do with career in Agricultural Engineering. Hope this helps? 1 Like |

Yeah it is an option under Agricultural Engineering bt some universities offer it as a separate course. |

power n machinery vs soil n water whch 1 is more prefarable in d market plz |
| Re: Agricultural Engineers Forum: Lets Meet Here And Share Our Experiences! by Adbash: 7:59am On Apr 19, 2012 |
It would have been power and machinery bt Mechanical Engineers are venturing into that line too and dey are also a big players there. Though Civil Engineer dudes are into water resourses bt Agric Engineers are d biggest players. |

Take soil and water but that doesnt mean that u will work in soil and water engineering coy. U may end up in Power and machinery or even processing firm. My advice as a broda, take d one u've talent for that will boost ur CGPA at d end of d day. 2 Likes |

I am an Agric Engineer.I graduated from University of Ilorin in 1991.I worked in the bank for more than 18 years before i retired.Along the line, i had taken some courses in some other fields- pgd-computer science,msc-computer science,MBA and some accounting courses.I have been a member of Nigerian Society of Engineers since i was in the university,I am graduate member and a corporate member(MNSE).All along because of my undying love for Agric Engineering Profession,I have been in the midst of Engineers even while i was still working for the Bank.It is very true that there are limited jobs for Agric Engineers in Nigeria,but we should not allow that to bother us as each everyone of us can be an Agric Entrepreneur and also make it in Ngeria.It is also true that our Senior Colleagues and the Government had failed us by not promoting Agricultural Engineering Practice. But I assure you that all hope is not loss as some of us are thing deeply on how to assist the upcoming Agric Engineers to get jobs after graduation in the school by setting up a companies and creating viable opportunities.e.g Farm Centres,Agric Engineering Malls,Hiring of Earth moving Equipments ,Fabrication,Rural and Urban Land Developmet Scheme,Training School and Seminars etc.We would employ the Senior Agric Engineers to focus on how they can be creative and establishing Agric Engineering firms than to continue to lecture.We should also encourage ourselves to set up the pace for the younger ones.If we really mean business as Agric Engineers, all Agric Engineering Options are lucrative-Manpower and Machinery,Post Harvest Engineering,Soil & Water and Food Technology.We must not despair.I know in our time we would lift up this profession as the future of nigeria largely depend on AGRICULTURE and we are the key players to that future.

As an Agricultural engineer, you have endless opportunities. But you have to keep updating yourself to remain relevant. I belong to ASABE since I was in 4th year, became a full member as a corper. Have been planning to write the FE exam (the nearest is Egypt), started my M.Sc in UNIZIK this year (My B.Sc was UNN). Started my ACCA this June (have written F1 and F2). You just keep being relevant as you keep updating yoursel, wherever you find yourself. Just bought ESUT Business school application form, lectures one weekend every two months. Don't ever resort self-pity, you are better placed than those others. A very wide horrizon exists in the Agriculture world now, easy to be established, only be focussed. The world is there for you to conquer. 4 Likes |
