Agriculture equipment development circles around the plant and hence basic understanding is of prime importance. Critical understanding of systems engineering & design principles and automation (including computer applications like CAD & CAM) has played a decisive role and as a result, a small team could conceive Product development, testing, and Technology transfer. The due importance was always attributed to the Human element in the backdrop of science and technology. The collaborative working from diverse workgroups needed to understand work culture, practices, and communication styles.
