[AT] Agricultural Engineers was kill a tractor company and get a pardon

[bloomis at charter.net]

Interesting question. As one who never really advanced to the upper halls of education, I’m curious as well. Since I live within 15 miles of one of the best ag/engineering schools in the country, Cal Poly San Luis Obisbo, I’ll have to ask my daughter in-law next time we speak. She professed Materials Engineering there for decades. Phd, Stanford. She may know the dif.  I also know several who have actually graduated with Ag Eng. Degrees.

I encountered a man with a new JCB ag equipment dealership in central Ohio around 2008. He had come to Ohio State to study Agricultural Engineering and stayed on as an invisible immigrant. I had to listen to him for a couple of sentences to realize his was not the accent of Virginia. Hope he made it.

 

What kind of courses does an Agricultural Engineer study that makes them better suited for tractor design than a Mechanical Engineer?

 

I once wanted to go to work for DeLorean. You got farther than I did.
