Shop Processes for Agricultural Educators

Course Description

Instruction in agricultural mechanics processes for teacher preparation in high school settings. AEE 349 Shop Processes for Agricultural Educators (3) This course is designed for teacher candidates who want to learn more about agriculture mechanics through an experiential learning opportunity. The teacher candidates will learn in a setting similar to those that the students will be expected to teach in during their student teaching experience, and potentially their future career. Students will be provided hands-on, constructivist learning approaches to agriculture mechanics. Students will be evaluated on various agriculture mechanics techniques. These techniques are related to small gasoline engines, concrete/masonry, electrical wiring, welding, and land measurement/building layout. In each unit students will complete projects that will allow them to practice introductory mechanics skills such as; tool selection, assembly/disassembly of engines, pouring concrete, building layout/wall construction, basic welding procedures, and electrical wiring basics. Students will also learn techniques in project development, implementation, and assessment. Each student will have opportunities to build projects for future application in their own teaching experiences.
