By: Jon Cyrus Dumandan
STEP 1
Pursue a Bachelor's Degree
Employers often require agricultural engineers to have a bachelor's degree from an engineering program that has been accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
Get a bachelors degree
SUCCES TIPS:
Many agricultural engineering programs offer cooperative education or internship programs in the agricultural industry. This can help provide the real-world experience required for state licensure. Internships usually take place during the course of a semester, and the employer usually evaluates students on a regular basis. Examples of internships include working in an agricultural equipment shop, working at a farm, or assisting with irrigation design.
SUCCES TIPS
Become Licensed
STEP 2
Agricultural engineers are generally required to obtain state licensing. Most states follow the licensing requirements set forth by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES). The council designed a professional engineer (PE) licensing exam specifically for those specializing in agriculture. Requirements for the NCEES exam include graduation from a degree program accredited by ABET and work experience.
Become Certified
STEP 3
The National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies offers certification in general engineering technology and several engineering specialties, such as geotechnical, land management, and industrial instrumentation. Requirements vary by certification type, but typically include an engineering degree, work experience, and professional endorsements.
You are now an Agricultural Engineer
TOPIC 4
Once agricultural engineers have garnered experience they can begin to take on more responsibility on more challenging projects, becoming supervisors and engineering managers. Additionally, they can also transfer their field experience and knowledge into an agricultural equipment sales position.
