Objectives

The Agricultural Mechanics and Technology course is designed as an introductory course. In addition, it provides development of general mechanical skills which are required in all areas of Agricultural Education. Typical instructional activities include: hands-on experiences in woodworking, metal working, welding, small engine repair, basic farm and homestead improvements, participating in personal and community leadership development activities, planning and implementing a relevant school-to-work transition experience, and participating in FFA activities. Each student is expected to design and participate in a Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE).

Agricultural Mechanics and Technology 2022-2023 Syllabus

SAE Project

A Supervised Agricultural Experience, or SAE, is an integral part of agricultural education in partnership with classroom instruction and FFA participation.  Our third unit in this class is an “SAE unit” in which each student selects an SAE project, creates goals, writes a plan, and implements their SAE project idea.  Students should discuss project ideas with their parents and mentors to make sure that the project and goals are practical and attainable.  Parent or guardian consent is a mandatory part of the SAE, because the process will most likely require guidance, help, money, time, transportation, or other resources from parents and/or mentors in the community.  Each student will be required keep a logbook (Agricultural Experience Tracker) to be graded throughout the semester. SAE projects are exciting, hands-on, and a self-directed way to LEARN!!!  All first year Agriculture class students will be required to run a scientific experiment (Agri-Science Fair) and create a report and presentation as his or her first SAE.
