UBT has adequate facilities and equipment for carrying out educational and research activities. The University of Business and Technology (UBT) ensures that its facilities, infrastructure, and equipment meet the qualitative and quantitative requirements necessary for the provision of education and research. Below is a detailed explanation of how this indicator is met, including figures for UBT in general and specifically for the Agricultural and Environmental Engineering (BSc.) program.
UBT has adequate software for this study discipline included in the curriculum, with a valid license. The Bachelor’s Program in Agricultural and Environmental Engineering at UBT ensures that all necessary software, whether licensed or open source, is available to support the curriculum. Below is a detailed summary of the licensed and open-source software used in the program:
Licensed Software:
Open-source Software that is adequate for the program courses as follows:
| Description | Units | Total | Course |
| ArcGIS and QGIS: | 1 | 1 | Geographic Information Systems (GIS) tools are critical for spatial planning and are installed in all computer labs to Assist students with mapping, zoning, and urban development projects. |
| MATLAB and Simulink | 10 | 10 | For simulating processes in agriculture. |
| Drones and their analysis software (e.g., DroneDeploy, Pix4D): | 10 | 10 | For crop monitoring, agricultural area analysis, and accurate data collection. |
| SPSS | 10 | 10 | Agricultural and Environmental Engineering Assessment |
| QGIS (Geographic Information System) Open Source | 5 | 5 | Spatial planning |
| UrbanSim (urban development modeling system) | 1 | 1 | Urban planning |
| Microcontrollers Arduino, Raspberry, ESP32 | 10 | 10 | Crop monitoring, agricultural area analysis, and accurate data collection with IoT on real time through programming languages like C/C++, Python |
| Sensors | 30 | 30 | Collect real-time data, which is then processed through the Arduino code to monitor crop conditions, analyze the agricultural area, and gather accurate data for better resource management and increased productivity. |
| PLC | 6 | 6 | They are programmed using specialized languages, often ladder logic, which allows for easy control and integration with sensors and other equipment to enhance operational efficiency, and precision in agricultural systems. |
