These engineers will be committed to professional ethics, possess high scientific and practical skills, and be able to meet the needs of the local, regional, and global labor markets. They will serve the community at a competitive level through the development of scientific research skills and continuous self-learning.

Goals:

1. Qualify specialized scientific cadres with training and scientific competencies in the field of field crops, enabling them to face professional challenges, compete with their peers, serve the community, and meet labor market demands.
2. Develop a modern, stimulating educational environment equipped with the latest technologies and advanced equipment, enabling students to compete, innovate, and excel. This environment will foster a desire for continuous learning, self-development, and the ability to improve performance, work in teams, and make decisions in the field of field crops.
3. Qualify cadres familiar with agricultural legislation, legal and social issues, and committed to work ethics and quality management related to agricultural fields, especially field crops.
4. Efficiently manage and employ resources and address problems in agricultural facilities and projects in the field of field crops, while preserving natural resources, biodiversity, and sustainable development.
5. Equip students with language and computer skills, and develop their abilities to use scientific and practical methods in research related to field crops, contributing to solving related agricultural problems.
6. Enable students to analyze the ways humans, plants, and soil interact with the environment to promote natural resource conservation and environmental protection.
7. Evaluate soil and water characteristics and determine appropriate agricultural use patterns for field crops under various environmental conditions, while preventing soil degradation and water pollution for a clean and sustainable environment.
8. Equip students with advertising and marketing skills, as well as the ability to label, present, and sell food products from field crops.
9. Enable students to study methods of efficiently, sustainably, and profitably using natural resources to produce food, feed, natural fibers for clothing, biofuels (ethanol gas), and seed-based industrial raw materials.
10. Provide knowledge of climate diversity and the ability to assess the short- and long-term impacts of agricultural production on the environment.
11. Enable students to follow environmentally sustainable approaches to the use, classification, and management of agricultural land, and to use modern technology in field crop production under adverse environmental conditions.
12. Enable students to study sustainable crop systems and the function of agricultural ecosystems, explore alternatives to traditional farming systems, and learn how to improve the quality and nutrition of crops that feed the world through efficient use of water and soil resources.
13. Enable students to improve plant production, quality, and profitability by utilizing plant genetics, breeding, and enhancing the physical, chemical, and microbial properties of soil to boost crop production.
14. Acquire production skills related to land preparation for planting and crop management operations using modern agricultural machinery and techniques under various production systems for field crops in diverse environmental conditions.
15. Equip students with skills in post-harvest practices for managing field crop raw materials and conducting necessary tests before introducing them into various industries.
16. Enable students to evaluate and analyze agricultural projects in the field of field crops, invest in natural agricultural resources, and develop plans for their growth and development.
17. Enable students to use modern methods and analytical approaches in planning and implementing fertilization programs, utilizing land and water units sustainably, controlling waste, and reducing pollution to produce environmentally safe field crops.
18. Enable students to use modern scientific methods for organic and biological farming to produce safe field crop products, and propose various mineral, organic, and biological fertilization programs while preserving soil, environment, and water resources.
