Computer Supported Control Engineering Education Reform in Agriculture Engineering Field Based on Intelligent Agriculture (IA) New Concept

Abstract

For putting in practice of agriculture engineering development and high–tech application, computer education for agriculture engineers is very important content whatever in university or employment cultivation. As long as advancement in agriculture engineering, many new technologies like digital agriculture, precision agriculture and information agriculture have grown up to be used. But while we deeply discuss computer education used in this field, the next generation new knowledge system in agriculture engineering should be presented, that is “Intelligent Agriculture(IA)” which is new concept based on intelligent control theory used in agriculture complex large system. With this concept, the agriculture system can be designed many close systems with feedback, and all of intelligent technologies combination artificial intelligent, automation control and computer algorithm research will be used in, and whole agriculture system can be realized to intelligent management and control output with advanced detecting technology and network control technology as well as all useful computer integration technologies. According to the connotation of IA, in this paper, the control structure and technology integration modeling describing for IA is discussed firstly. And then, for high technology application in agricultural field under IA, the future computer education supporting to IA for agriculture engineers is discussed. On the other hand, for application in two sides of controllable agricultural environment engineering and open field environment agriculture engineering, the future computer education for engineers will be changed correspondingly in curriculum. Hence, in this paper, the reform of computer education and work training for agricultural engineers are also discussed
