Kenya Industrial Research and Development Institute (KIRDI) is a government institute under Ministry of Trade, Investments and Industry. KIRDI core mandate is to undertake research, development and innovation in industrial and allied technologies and disseminate research findings to support industrial development. Biosystems Engineering visited KIRDI with an aim to learn engineering design process of any given project. The engineering design process emphasizes open-ended problem solving and encourages students to learn from failure.

Ndume is well known and respected throughout the region as the only true agricultural machinery manufacturer in East Africa. Biosystems Engineering students visited the plant on industrial visit.  The productivity of farms depends greatly on the availability and judicious use of farm power by the farmers. Agricultural implements and machines enable the farmers to employ the power judiciously for production purposes.

Ausquest Farm is focused on supplying quality fodder to dairy/beef farmers, growing certified seed beans, and sharing knowledge on the production of the same.
