Skill-style-support Analytics
Skill: knowledge of operation and best practices of agriculture and animalhusbandries, nanotechnology, civil, construction and architecture, textile engineering, technical, system administration, management, governance, supply chain management;
Style: leadership, shared vision, goal setting, intelligent communication, risk assessment and mitigation, innovation project management;
Support : proactive, preventive and reactive support.
The expert panel are exploring skill-style-support for the innovation, adoption and diffusion of emerging agricultural, nano-housing, textile and consumer goods technologies. The panel have identified a set of key areas for skill development such as design of agricultural machinery, equipments and structures, agricultural resource management (e.g. land), water management, conservation and storage for crop irrigation and livestock production, surveying and land profiling, climatology and atmospheric science, soil management and conservation, soil erosion control, seeding, tillage, harvesting and processing of crops, livestock production (e.g. poultry, fish, dairy animals), waste management, (e.g. animal waste, agricultural residues and fertilizer runoff), food processing technology, electrical motors, physical and chemical properties of materials (e.g. fertilizers, paste controllers), crop processing and storage, controlled environment agriculture and experiments related to crop and animal production. Innovation leaders must have shared vision, goal, communication, project management, coordination skills and rational decision making capabilities. The technical staff should have capabilities on proactive and reactive support of automated machines, equipments, tools and systems.
It is essential to develop skills in various branches of engineering such as mechanical, electrical, civil, chemical, digital technology, genetics, biotechnology and agricultural engineering;, domain knowledge of best practices and process innovation in agriculture, fisheries, poultry, dairy, poultry, epiculture and sericulture and related research and development. Agricultural engineers are expected to develop skills in planning, supervising and managing the building of irrigation, drainage, flood water control systems, environmental impact assessments, agricultural product processing, interpretation of research results and implementation of best practices. Generally, they work in academic institutes of agriculture engineering, government agencies, consulting in private engineering firms, manufacturing industries of agricultural machineries, equipments, processing technology and structures for housing livestock and storing crops and also in production, sales, management, research and development on applied science.
