For all other agricultural eng 3rd sem bteup diploma syllabus 2017 you can visit Agricultural Eng 3rd Sem BTEUP Diploma Syllabus 2017 Subjects. The detail syllabus for 2. soil science & soil mechanics is as follows.

Rationale:

A diploma holder in agricultural engg. has to work with various types of soils in the field. This subject is aimed to equip the students with the capability of identifying various types of soils, their properties and behaviour in the field conditions.
In addition to above the knowledge of soil mechanics is also necessary in connection with the contruction of rural roads, farm structures, storage bins and embankment or filling of earth while leveling the land.
The curriculum of this subject has been developed to cater the above mentioned needs.
