The agromechanical faculty as well as the University was founded in 1954. 

At the chairs of the faculty, students receive theoretical knowledge, study the newest technologies used in crop production and livestock, the design of agricultural machines and mobile energy equipment. A lot of attention in the learning process is paid to environmental problems of modern agricultural production. Students have the opportunity to carry out analytical studies, to engage in research work at the faculty chairs.

The main directions of scientific activities of the faculty's scientists are: improvement of the cultivation technology of agricultural crops; justification of technological modes of operation and parameters of agricultural machines; optimal design of resource-saving and environmentally friendly technologies and production processes; improvement and creation of existing new agricultural units, reduction of energy costs in agricultural production; formation of high general and professional culture of agroengineers.

During the educational process, students receive not only fundamental knowledge in the field of general professional, general technical, social and humanitarian disciplines, but also deeply study the issues of foreign economic activity of the state and the economy of organizations, organization of production, enterprise management and environmental safety issues, labor protection and foreign languages, information technologies, they also have the opportunity to get worker's professions: the driver of vehicles of “B” category, the tractor driver of agricultural production of “A”, “B”, “D” categories and a metal worker for the repair of agricultural machines and equipment. 

The faculty includes 6 chairs: 

• Modeling and design chair;
• Agricultural Machines chair;
• Standardization, metrology and engineering graphics chair;
• Technology and mechanization of livestock husbandry and agricultural products processing chair;
• Tractors and automobiles chair;
• Machine and tractor fleet operation and agricultural technologies chair.
