It presents seven lines of research related to the specialty of Agricultural Engineering. The general and specific basic courses offered in the program are chosen according to the research line chosen by the doctoral student, and must attend at least six, in correspondence with the minimums of the specialty established by the National Commission of Scientific Degrees of Cuba (NCSD) and approved by the Academic Committee of the Program.
