Examples of Organisations and Companies where Graduates Work and Their Job Responsibilities
Mechanisation , Annual Regional Convention Competition and The Vertical Farming Award .
Examples of project titles related to Agriculture 4.0 that have won competitions include Data Integration with ArcGIS Application for Oil Palm Management , Development of LoRaWAN Communication System to Monitor Soil Electrical Conductivity and pH of Oil Palms , Vertical Farming , Mini Tractor , Pest Monitoring Systems using Thermal Cameras with Convolutional Neural Networks and a Real Time Root Monitoring System for Hydroponic Salad using Deep Learning .
Students also enhance their learning experience by joining the student exchange programme through inbound and outbound activities . This offers students exposure and insight to agricultural engineering abroad and helps motivate students to venture into opportunities outside the country , develop a global mindset for career advancement and success in any environment . Students have been to Indonesia , China , Japan , South Korea , Oman , Turkey , Italy , Germany and the United States of America .
Conclusion
In summary , agricultural modernisation through digitalisation introduces new tools and machines in production using advanced technologies . In line with the current industrial trend , the Bachelor of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering with Honours programme aims to prepare graduates that are able to work in the Agriculture 4.0 workplace environment by embedding IR 4.0 elements such as IT , IoT , AI , Innovation and Entrepreneurship , and Big Data into the curriculum . Furthermore , engagement with industries is strengthened by using various types of platform and the soft skills of the students are sharpened through various social activities . Based on the performance of the students and graduates , the department believes these measures taken can help produce future-proof agricultural engineers who can manage their own learning after graduation and be able to confront rapid changes in the industry .
