WHAT A CONSULTING ENGINEER CAN DO FOR YOU
Because of their broad educational background, consulting agricultural engineers are a source of information on a wide
variety of topics and can provide help with diverse technical problems. The design and management services agricultur-
al engineers provide can be invaluable to small businesses without their own engineering departments, to agricultural
producers and similar enterprises, and to large businesses or governmental agencies that want to supplement their in-
house engineering departments. Consultants also can provide service to lending institutions, law firms, local units of
government and planning boards, or to individuals that need expert witnesses or technical analysis.
What is a Consulting Engineer?
A consulting engineer is an independent contractor retained to work on a project-by-project basis. A consulting engineer
may work alone or as a member of a consulting firm. Consulting engineers can provide a high level of technical exper-
tise, direct personal service, and highly technical advice. Many consulting engineers are licensed professional engineers in
their state of residence and must qualify to obtain licensure in other states where they practice or provide services.
What Expertise Does a Consulting Agricultural Engineer Have?
Agricultural engineers have a diverse educational background that makes them knowledgeable about many
subjects; additionally, they usually focus their expertise on one of the following areas:
• Applied Sciences & Engineering • Energy Systems
• Machinery Systems • Plant, Animal & Facility Systems
• Education, Outreach & Professional • Ergonomics Safety & Health
Development • Processing Systems
• Natural Resources & Environmental • Information Technology, Sensors & Control
Systems Systems
