Student successes We are pleased to report that a number of PhD's are about to be completed or have recently been awarded to DBT-funded students, some at universities not traditionally associated with 'agricultural engineering'. Novel applications are challenging our broad mission statement, and many do not realise that they are 'ag engineers', but reflect the sector's diverse nature eg: desalination (Birmingham), soil erosion (Worcester), flood protection (Reading), machine vision to detect disease and plant stress (Imperial), computer vision to identify and manage cattle (Nottingham) 'Virtual sheep fencing' (Liverpool John Moore's).
