Teaching

Precision agriculture and agricultural machinery are core area of Dr. Zaman’s research which is apparent from the lists of publications. He is teaching Technology for Precision Agriculture (ENGN 2011), Agricultural Machinery (2001), and Management of Mechanized Agricultural Systems (4002) courses to the undergraduate students at NSAC. Dr. Zaman also offers graduate module courses in Precision Agriculture research area. Previously, he also taught undergraduate and graduate courses in Agriculture Engineering at University of Agriculture Faisalabad, Pakistan.

ENGN 2011(Technology for Precision Agriculture)
It offers a hands-on approach to GPS, GIS mapping, remote sensing, soil sensing, plant sensing, yield monitoring, variable rate technologies for site-specific crop management to maximize horticultural/agronomic profitability and minimize impact of agrochemicals on environment.

ENGN 2001(Agricultural Machinery)
It offers the engineering principles of Farm Machinery, including machinery for soil preparation, planting, crop care and harvesting. Machines and their operations are analyzed with respect to functions, work rate, material flows and power usage. Environmental impacts of machine operations, safety, basic maintenance, adjustment, calibration and performance testing.

ENGN 4002(Management of Mechanized Agricultural Systems)
It covers principle of engineering economics applied to agricultural investment alter natives, primarily related to agricultural mechanized systems. Field operations from soil tillage to crop harvest are examined with respect to machine performance, power requirement, timeliness, cost analysis and machinery selection.
