3. Types of Programs Offered:
In the new 2021 curriculum, the Master’s Program in Agricultural Engineering offers two types of learning programs:
- Regular
- By-Research
The Regular Program follows the traditional learning model that has been implemented by the Master’s Program in Agricultural Engineering. Meanwhile, the By-Research Program is a newly introduced program starting in the 2021/2022 academic year.
These two learning programs differ in terms of theoretical credit requirements, thesis workload, and publication requirements.
