This year-long course is designed to give students an overview of mechanics that are used in an agricultural setting. Time will be given to study small engines, electricity, GIS/GPS, surveying and welding. The small engines component will teach students to select, operate service, maintain, repair, and overhaul small engines. It will develop knowledge and skills in preventative maintenance, principles of operation, systems of the engines, use of test equipment and tune-ups. The electricity component will include instruction and practice in inspecting, maintaining, repairing and diagramming circuits and equipment. In addition, students will learn how electric motors and controls are used in agriculture to regulate temperature, ventilation, lighting and more. The welding section will cover arc, oxy-acetylene, MIG, and plasma-arc cutting. Participation in FFA activities and Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) projects are an integral course component for leadership development, career exploration and reinforcement of academic concepts.
