Agronomic Engineering

What is the Agronomic Engineering?

It is a career that uses the knowledge of the basic sciences such as mathematical, physics and chemical, the applied sciences such as vegetable physiology, handling of floors and cultivations protection, the updated technology like the computer science and the biotechnology, conjugating them with the practical knowledge generated by the productive processes, to form engineers able to optimize agricultural productive systems and to undertake with success business of the agriculture.

What you will learn in the career?

• At basic level of the career the student establishes an early contact with the reality of the agricultural production; he receives theoretical-practice instruction in the basic sciences of the engineering and is qualified in laboratories endowed with high technology, in areas like biology, genetics and computer science.
  
• At half level of the career he begins in the taking and execution of decisions related with real productive processes of commercial scale. He deepens in the technician-scientific aspects of the production in the local environment and establishes contact with the national reality through field exits to the main centers of production of the country.
  
• In the final phase of the career he consolidates as professional of the agronomic engineering, specialist in the main items of the region, acquires capacity to intervene as agent of the development in the rural means and through the degree thesis he achieves experience in the realization of works of scientific research, making significant contributions for the solution of problems of the agriculture of the region.
