BSc Agricultural Resource Management & Technology (ARMT) is four years undergraduate degree program offered by the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Ruhuna. During first five semesters of the BSc ARMT degree programme Dept. of Agric. Engineering conduct course modules on major areas in Agricultural Engineering including agricultural machinery, soil and water engineering, postharvest technology, environmental engineering, precision agriculture, etc. in the sixth semester; undergraduates are facilitated to get hands on experiences on the above engineering themes. Undergraduates who opt to specialize in Agricultural Engineering can follow the advanced course modules in Agricultural Engineering during the sevenths semester followed by industrial training. Thereafter, they have to carry out research projects under the supervision of senior academics of the Department.
