Agricultural Engineering Student
David Goodchild at the time of filming was a 4th year agricultural engineering student at Harper Adams University.
Summary
- David is a student studying agricultural engineering at Harper Adams University.
- Prior to this David worked as a demonstrator, in product support, and as a technician prior to university.
- Agricultural Engineers are specialists who help solve global challenges which affect all of us, such as feeding a growing population with increasingly scarce resources while protecting the environment.
Sectors
After four years of study David is hoping to pursue a role in product specialism for an agricultural manufacturer.
Agricultural engineering students develop machines, technology, systems, and environmental solutions to reduce input consumption, increase precision and create sustainable production systems and develop the necessary skills for roles such as designing and testing the next generation of agricultural machinery and systems e.g. robotic farming, product support engineers, and research.
The third-year placement of his degree was incredibly invaluable for gaining industry experience.
Service engineering in agriculture is a physically demanding job, such as the tyres and parts are very heavy. Specialist tools make the job easier.
Opportunities with this degree are board. The agricultural engineering industry has a variety of sectors to choose to work in.
