9th - 12th Grade

UC/CSU: G - College-Preparatory Elective

The course provides an introduction to a broad spectrum of skills that provide a foundation for applied engineering careers, creative expression, and technical expertise. Students are guided through practical applications of math and science while developing technical expertise required in industry. Importance is placed on preparation for post-secondary success while an introduction to a broad range of practical skills is provided. Practical experience and personal development are integral components. Safety, oxy-fuel cutting, arc welding, metal fabrication, and project construction are emphasized.

Transferable college credit (4 credits) for students who earn a B or better in Agricultural Engineering I and II.

10th - 12th Grade

UC/CSU: G - College-Preparatory Elective

Whether they are engineers or artists, students interested in improving their skills and developing advanced techniques are able to continue what they started in Agricultural Engineering I. Students review basic topics, are assigned progressive shop responsibilities, and work toward developing advanced skills in areas that are of key interest. Students receive advanced instruction and routinely use advanced pieces of equipment. Students develop focused practical experiences and specific leadership behaviors. Electrical work, construction techniques, metalworking, engine theory, and welding fabrication is emphasized.

Transferable college credit (4 credits) for students who earn a B or better in Agricultural Engineering I and II.

Prerequisite: Ag Engineering 1 or approval from Ag teacher.

11th - 12th Grade

UC/CSU: G - College-Preparatory Elective

This course is designed for Agricultural Engineering students interested in sharpening shop skills while preparing for entry into mechanical engineering careers or applied engineering internships. Entrepreneurial activities, internships, and earn-while-you-learn is encouraged and promoted. Students are provided a great deal of independence as they pursue focused learning in specialized areas of study. Project fabrication, repair and maintenance, computer aided manufacturing, job site training, resumes, interviewing skills are emphasized. Demonstrating technical expertise in the application of algebra, geometry, and physical science is standard.

​Prerequisites: Ag Engineering II or approval from Ag teacher.
