Agricultural universities don't have to farm. There are only some professional needs related to agriculture, and in order to complete their studies, they will plant related crops. For example, in the Department of Economic Management of Agricultural University, there is generally a major in agricultural economic management, and of course, there is also economic management in the financial direction, so agricultural universities do not necessarily study farming.

Graduates of this major are mainly engaged in water conservancy engineering survey, planning, design, construction, management, experimental research, teaching and scientific research in agricultural water conservancy, hydropower and soil and water conservation departments.

Agricultural engineering specialty is an important guarantee and one of the key scientific and technological fields for building modern agriculture and new socialist countryside and realizing agricultural modernization. Agricultural engineering plays an irreplaceable role in promoting the development of agricultural production, promoting the transformation of agricultural development mode and farmers' lifestyle, protecting the ecological environment, making efficient use of production resources and production factors, and realizing the sustainable development of social economy.

On the basis of the first-level discipline of agricultural engineering, the major of agricultural engineering trains students to systematically accept the basic theory of natural science and the basic training of engineering technology, master a wide range of knowledge such as biological production system, agricultural engineering machinery and equipment, agricultural facilities and environment, information and automation technology, agricultural engineering project planning and design management, and cultivate compound senior engineering and technical personnel with extensive knowledge structure and comprehensive system ability.

Employment prospects of agricultural engineering major;

The employment prospect of agricultural engineering specialty is very broad, which is an important guarantee and one of the key scientific and technological fields for building modern agriculture and new socialist countryside and realizing agricultural modernization. Agricultural engineering plays an irreplaceable role in promoting the development of agricultural production, promoting the transformation of agricultural development mode and farmers' lifestyle, protecting the ecological environment, making efficient use of production resources and production factors, and realizing the sustainable development of social economy.
