About this book
Introduction to Agricultural Engineering Technology: A problem Solving Approach is an invaluable text for agriculture students at the introductory level. The fourth edition has been thoroughly updated and reorganized to meet the current units and standards of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE).
The book aims to:
- Familiarize students with a wide range of applications of engineering principles to agriculture
- Discuss a selection of independent but related topics
