History
The Division of Mechanisation and Energetics in Agriculture was formed at the Faculty of Agriculture of the Agricultural University of Krakow in 1972. Five years later, in 1977 it changed into an independent faculty with two institutes: the Institute of Mechanisation and Energetics in Agriculture and the Institute of Machine Repair and Organisation of Servicing. Since 1993 the Faculty has been named the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering.

Authorities
Dean - Professor Norbert Marks, PhD, DSc.
Vice Dean for Didactic and Student Affairs - Bogusław Cieślikowski, PhD, DSc.
Vice Dean for Organisation and Co-operation - Kazimierz Rutkowski, PhD, DSc.
