It's my pleasure as the Head of Department to officially welcome you to the Departmental of Agricultural & Bioenvironmental Engineering Technology (ABET), Federal College of Agriculture Ishiagu, and also to her website.
The Department is conscious of the significance of food and fiber production and increased agricultural productivity, hence focused on the training of middle level manpower in farm power & machinery, post-harvest technology, soil & water conservation, welding & fabrication, as well as safety and environmental management. In the light of these, and the advancements in various field of agricultural engineering specializations led embrace the new curriculum in Agricultural & Bio-Environmental Engineering Technology (ABET) to widen the scope of emerging technologies within the field.
As a department, we focused on training of middle level manpower directly or indirectly in the utilization of Agricultural technology in the production, distribution, and processing of agricultural products and services.The Department accords all her students the full complements of enhanced agricultural mechanization and appropriately applied agricultural engineering education.
The Department has a mandate to train and produce technicians and technologists at the National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) levels as well as offer short course training in some specialized vocations in agricultural engineering. The National Diploma (ND) Programme is fully accredited and has satisfactorily undergone resource inspection in Higher National Diploma (HND) in farm power and machinery option.
These we achieved through the rigorous arrangement for our students to undergo internship industrial training with selected engineering establishments to gain requisite practical experience prior to their graduation. The Department believe in diligence, maintain high moral standards, and promote interrelationships among staff and students. Welcome to the department of Agricultural & Bio-Environmental Engineering Technology.
I invite you to visit our web pages and get acquainted with our efforts at promoting high quality research, teaching and learning in the Department of Agricultural and Bioenvironmental Engineering Technology.
