My greenhouse project exemplifies my understanding of managing facilities, equipment, technology, and materials in my agriculture education program because it assesses the justification of a greenhouse. My proposed greenhouse design demonstrates industry relevance because it reflects current industry standards in facilities and equipment. The greenhouse gable design is commonly found in educational and retail settings. In addition, the polycarbonate glazing and aluminum framing ensure longevity for the agriculture education program. The structure is also modern because it would have an automatic climate control system to align with current horticultural industry trends. In addition, this greenhouse design supports curriculum alignment because of the learning outcomes highlighted for student performance. This design allows students to gain hands-on experience in horticultural practices. This can help students broaden their horticultural understanding, which would be evaluated by pre and post-project assessments. By incorporating measurable outcomes, the agriculture education program can enhance student learning. This personal greenhouse demonstrates my ability to manage resources to meet student needs with industry-standard facilities. 

My laboratory redesign project exemplifies my understanding of managing facilities, equipment, technology, and materials in my agriculture education program because it assesses the safety considerations of laboratory space. My laboratory redesign demonstrates safety and compliance, specifically in a welding shop. This plan addresses meeting safety standards by making adjustments to ventilation/exhaust systems and reorganizing scrap metal storage. It is essential to ensure proper ventilation systems because welding can create hazardous fumes that can inhibit student and teacher safety. Reorganizing storage can ensure that there are clear and safe pathways for all individuals who enter the laboratory space. In addition, my laboratory redesign project demonstrates resource management because it proposes improvements over a timeline while identifying funding alternatives. The first year would include ventilation repairs, which would be crucial. The second year would include purchasing new welding booths. Lastly, the third year would include updates to the setup in the laboratory space. The funding alternatives listed include the Perkins Grant and USDA rural development grants to support the updates. This laboratory redesign project demonstrates my ability to incorporate a structured plan for program resources in an agricultural education program.
