POS OVERVIEW, COURSE DESCRIPTIONS, END-OF-COURSE, AND PROGRAM ASSESSMENTS Provide a CTE program of study overview that broadly describes the program and student expectations. Identify end-of-program assessment(s) and opportunities for students to participate in early college and early career experiences. List each course title in the CTE program of study. Provide an overview of each course and define what students should know and be able to demonstrate upon completion of each level. Identify appropriate end-of-course assessment(s). CTE Program of Study Overview: The Agricultural Power and Engineering is a three (3) course program of study that provides students with the mathematical, scientific, and engineering principles and methods required to understand dynamic power systems and metal fabrication. Students practice real world applications, communication skills, and problem solving skills associated with dynamic power systems and metal fabrication. Students are prepared for a variety of careers including engineering, welding technicians, mechanical and industrial technicians, maintenance technicians, mechanical engineering, metal fabrication, CNC operators, power technology repair and troubleshooting, and green energy technologies. Fundamentals of Agricultural Power and Engineering (FAPE) introduces students to the skills needed in the occupational area of agricultural power and engineering. This course offers opportunities in workplace safety, communication skills, application of construction math, reading and developing construction plans, tool usage and safety practices, and cutting and gouging processes of metals using oxyfuels and plasma. Agricultural Welding and Fabrication (AWF) enables students to build on the knowledge and experiences gained in FAPE. Students learn shielded metal arc welding, gas metal arc welding, and gas tungsten arc welding agricultural welding, and metal fabrication. AWF includes hands-on experiences for students to learn metallurgy as well as how to read welding drawings and identify welding symbols. Power and Mechanical Systems (PMS) enables students to apply principles of dynamic power and mechanical systems while incorporating the scientific and engineering principles to be employed in power mechanical and related agricultural industries. Students learn about energy principles, engine theory, engine systems troubleshooting, electrical motor principles, hydraulic systems, and electronics. End-of-Program Assessment(s): Certification/credentialing exam (specify): NCCER Credentialed Craft Professional’s Training Core Curriculum – OSHA 10 Hour Training for Construction Licensing exam (specify): Nationally recognized exam (specify):
