Educational Modules for Agricultural & Food Engineering

Sep. 2020 - Sep. 2022

During the lockdown of 2020 and 2021, myself and two collaborators wrote a set of short educational modules on the topics of agricultural and food engineering, aimed for an audience of self-motivated individuals with at least a high school graduate level of education.  The modules were presented in five levels, each building on previous levels. The modules culminate into a moderately large project in the fifth level of modules. Thus, individuals can 'choose-their-own-adventure' by picking and setting a fifth level module as their goal, and begin with the level one modules to build up the skills required to complete their chosen project.

 

Below are the set of modules written by myself and my collaborators, Emre Mengi and Omar Betancourt.  Additional modules can be found at aifs.ucdavis.edu/education
