Abstract
Considering that the fusion of education and technology has delivered encouraging outcomes, things are becoming more challenging for higher education as students seek experiences that bridge the gap between theory and their future professional roles. Giving priority to the above issue, this study presents methods and results from activities assisting engineering students to utilize recent machine-learning techniques for tackling the challenge of water resource preservation. Cost-effective, innovative hardware and software components were incorporated for monitoring the proper operation of the corresponding agricultural equipment (such as electric pumps or water taps), and suitable educational activities were developed involving students of agricultural engineering. According to the evaluation part of the study being presented, the implementation of a machine-learning system with sufficient performance is feasible, while the outcomes derived from its educational application are significant, as they acquaint engineering students with emerging technologies entering the scene and improve their capacity for innovation and cooperation. The study demonstrates how emerging technologies, such as IoT, ML, and the newest edge-AI techniques can be utilized in the agricultural industry for the development of sustainable agricultural practices. This aims to preserve natural resources such as water, increase productivity, and create new jobs for technologically efficient personnel.
