AGRICULTURAL MECHANICS
This course provides students with a background in the mechanics area of agriculture, and places a heavy emphasis on hands-on and laboratory-based learning. Student experiences will include basic studies of the various welding disciplines (stick, wire, and oxy-acetylene), small gas engines, GPS, electricity, and fundamental agricultural skills such as measurements and tools. Students will make connections to concepts in science and mathematics, and apply their classwork to real-world situations in agriculture. Full participation in activities in both the classroom and the shop is expected. Students will also participate in classroom discussion about leadership development and the National FFA Organization and continue their implementation of a supervised agricultural experience (SAE) program.
