Agricultural engineering – Engineering
“Agricultural engineering is the discipline of engineering in agricultural, food, and biological systems. Agricultural engineers design agricultural machinery and equipment and agricultural structures. Some specialties include power system and machinery design; structures and environment; and food and bioprocess engineering. They develop ways to conserve soil and water and to improve the processing of agricultural products. Agricultural engineers work in research and development, production, sales, or management. “

Design and build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” when they land.
In this challenge, kids follow the engineering design process to: (1) design and build a shock-absorbing
system out of paper, straws, and mini-marshmallows; (2) attach their shock absorber
to a cardboard platform; and (3) improve their design based on testing results.”- – By valerie taylor
