Course Title: Ag Mechanics (Welding, Wiring, Small Engines, Masonry, Plumbing) Credits: 5 per semester/10 per year Prerequisite: Agriculture Education Orientation Course Description: Fundamentals of Agricultural Mechanics allows the student to develop the fundamentals of mechanical processes as they relate to the areas of agricultural mechanics. Areas to be explored include tool sharpening, plumbing, metal working, arc welding processes, oxy-fuel processes (welding, brazing, cutting), hot and cold metal working, electricity, construction and building materials, sketching, drawing and using plans for construction. An emphasis will be placed on the development of orderly and safe lab procedures for many practical skills that will be developed. Mode of Presentation Classroom discussion, problem solving, demonstrations, and individual practice of welding exercises. Grading Procedure: Daily welding exercises, quizzes and tests on welding procedure and safety, practical welding tests, and project grades will all be used as well as S.A.E. records. Students Skills, Knowledge to be Gained I. Sketching, Drawing, Interpreting Plans A. Sketches and Drawings B. Developing a Bill of Materials II. General Safety (specific safety covered in each unit) III. Tools and tool fitting A. Identification, selection, safe use B. Sharpening specific tools IV. Power Tools and Equipment A. Parts identification and safe use B. Selection V. Metalworking A. Procedures and Safety B. Hot and Cold Metalworking VI. Welding A. Types of Welding, Procedures and Safety B. Operation of Arc and Oxy-fuel Welding equipment C. Development of welding fundamentals VII. Electricity A. Electrical B. Circuit Planning C. Procedures and Safety VIII. Plumbing A. System Planning and Maintenance B. Equipment, Tool and Supply Selection C. Procedures and Safety IX. Small Engines
