systems, and at the same time effectively reduce or eliminate environmental hazards as well as utilize agricultural waste and by products. It is in this context that the curriculum of the undergraduate program in Agricultural Engineering has been reviewed and consequently improved to make sure that the program will produce graduates who have the necessary skills and competence to respond to the changing needs of the local and international environment. ARTICLE II AUTHORITY TO OPERATE The Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Engineering program shall be operated only by private institutions of higher learning with proper authority granted by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). State Universities and Colleges (SUCs) and Local Colleges and Universities (LCUs) should likewise adhere to the provisions of this Order. ARTICLE III PROGRAM SPECIFICATIONS SEC. 2. Degree The degree program herein shall be called Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Engineering (BSAE). SEC. 3. Program Description The Agricultural Engineering program is designed to produced graduates who possess knowledge and skills in the application of engineering principles for the production, processing, handling and storage of food, fiber and materials of biological origin. The graduates are expected to understand and apply engineering principles particularly in the solution of problems concerning irrigation and drainage of agricultural land, soil erosion control, planning of agricultural buildings, agricultural waste management

In accordance with the pertinent provisions.of Republic Act (RA) No. 7722, otherwise known as the "Higher Education Act of 1994," and by virtue of Commission en Bane Resolution No. 318-2007 dated 7 May 2007 and for purpose of revising CMO 04, Series of 2001 entitled "Guiding Principles and Minimum Standards for Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Engineering Program" with the end view of keeping apace with the demands of global competitiveness, the following policies and standards are hereby adopted and promulgated by the Commission. ARTICLE I INTRODUCTION SECTION 1. Rationale Agricultural Engineering is a discipline based on the application of engineering principles of the production, processing, handling and storage of food, fiber and materials of biological origin. Agricultural engineering covers such areas as irrigation and drainage of agricultural land, soil erosion control, the planning of agricultural buildings and structures, post harvest technology, agricultural waste management and the development of labor and energysaving agricultural equipment and systems. As a discipline that is continuously evolving in response to advances in information technology and bio-technology, changing market needs and policy environments, agricultural engineering is progressively challenged to further improve the efficiency of agricultural production
