Article presents historical development of the science, from machine engineering to the present agricultural engineering, revealing its continuously expanding scope. In view of the above, the placement of agricultural engineering within the organization of science becomes increasingly important. Assuming that the research within this science focuses on farming objects, therefore its placement within agricultural sciences seems to be justified. However, not all issues may be classified and evaluated within agricultural sciences. The issues of machine design are related more closely to technical sciences, therefore the research directions presented herein include primarily the most pressing needs of agricultural sciences and the entire food management complex.
