The College, which was established as the Department of Agricultural Engineering under the UP College of Agriculture in 1912, is now a premier institution that provides dynamic leadership in agricultural engineering and other agro-industrial technologies.
CEAT offers the following degree programs in engineering:
The Agrometeorology and Farm Structures Division (AFSD) seeks to
that will translate sky-high weather problems into manageable ground-level solutions which farmers and entrepreneurs can implement in a “changing” global climate.
