Ag Mechanics 1: This course integrates many of the major trades into a one year introductory course. Students develop basic skills in metalwork, arc welding, woodworking, plumbing, electrical, oxy-acetylene welding/cutting and much more.
Ag Mechanics 2: In Intermediate Ag Mechanics, students further develop their skills in advanced welding and cutting processes such as MIG, TIG, plasma cutting, CNC cutting and other fabrication procedures. Students will also familiarize themselves with small engine fundamentals.
Ag Mechanics 3: The focus of this class is using the skills developed in previous years to independently create large scale projects. Drafting, planning, and interpretation of project drawings are an essential part of this course. Students have the opportunity to build personal projects as long as they keep up with course demands.
Small Engine Applications This course is focused on the application of small engines. Emphasis is placed on agricultural applications. Students will explore engine theory, carburetor systems, ignition systems, assembly/disassembly, and engine troubleshooting.
Ag Woods: Students explore basic woodworking skills and industrial applications of the building processes used in class. Students will develop confidence with the table saw, miter saw, bandsaw, drill press, planer, router, and much more equipment. Projects increase in size and skill as the course progresses.
