ILO-1: An ability to use engineering principles in designing technology products related to the field of agricultural engineering science
learning outcomes
ILO-3: An ability to manage and utilize natural resource (agriculture and environment) and the supporting resources (human resources, infrastructure, etc.) in an optimal way and sustainable
Objectives: This course contains an introduction to the components and working principles of power generation (internal combustion motors), power transmission, and their use in Agricultural Tractors. An explanation and general description of Agricultural Tractors (category, power classification, performance test) will be discussed in this course. In addition, the performance of
agricultural tractors in the field and the factors that influence it are also the subject of discussion.
Knowledge: familiarity with power generation (internal combustion motors), power transmission, and their use in Agricultural Tractors
Skills: cognitive – Apply Agricultural Tractors (category, power classification, performance test). Phsycomotoric - practical abilities to Agricultural Tractors (category, power classification, performance test)
