At the Faculty of Engineering of Latvia University of Agriculture, research is carried out in two directions – engineering sciences, and pedagogical sciences. In the sphere of engineering sciences, the main directions of research are: development of mechanization means for conditioning of energetic plant biomass that is needed for production of solid fuel; supply of optimal microclimate on pig farms; efficient utilization of solar radiation in grain drying and production of hot water; production of alternative fuels; influence of biofuels on dynamic parameters; consumption of fuel and composition of exhaust gases of internal combustion engines; usage of climatic factors in the process of grain conditioning and storage; development of animal production machinery and technologies; research in energy efficiency of water supply and waste water engineering systems, and development of waste water aeration equipment management systems; development of biogas production technologies; research in technological, ecological and energetic aspects of micro-cogeneration in autonomous energy supply using biogas. In the sphere of pedagogics, the main research trends are: ecology of education, competence in rural environment, professional and career education, life quality in the context of home environment, and natural and engineering didactics.
