| Summary: | It has been widely recognised that grain post-harvest losses are high and commonly occurring in the South East Asian countries and particularly so in Malaysia. One of the many post harvest methods to overcome these losses is to train manpower that are involved in these activities. Graduate engineers in the field of agricultural engineering can provide the technical expertise in post-harvest operations. In this context a university education should
provide a sound engineering course for its undergraduate students in this field. Such a course
needs to emphasize design and operations aspects
