Synopsis

"Introduction to Agricultural Engineering" was first published in the late 60's by AVI. The topics and treatment are selected for a three-fold purpose - first, to acquaint student with a wide range of applications of engineering to agriculture; second to present an array of more or less independent topics to facilitate daily assessments or quizzes; and third, to develop and enhance the problem-solving ability of the student." The third edition's continued purpose is to expose the reader to a wide array of engineering principles and their application to agricultural, and enhances the students' problem solving ability.
