General Information

The Department of Agricultural Machinery was founded in 1970. In the following years, though it was called Agriculture Mechanization Department, the name Agriculture machinery has been used since 1984. The basic aims of the department are to educate Professional engineers in the field of Agricultural Mechanization and to design new prototype machines, to improve effectiveness of the agricultural machinery, to create and extend new ideas on designing manufacturing, selecting of agricultural machines and its safe operation. In addition, ensure more effective use of agriculture machinery, design and present samples of machinery not found in our country to manufacturers and producers. For this purpose, our department's expertise areas are agricultural electrification, natural energy sources, greenhouse technique, agriculture tractors, ergonomy, soil process mechanization, harvest, plantation fertilizing mechanization, agricultural war mechanization, agriculture machinery administration and planning, mechanization in animal production.
