Reimer, Zook MECHANIZED AGRICULTURE Program Learning Outcomes: • Explain the theory of operation of common machine systems found on agricultural and construction machinery. • Demonstrate the safe entry level repair and maintenance of agricultural and construction machinery. • Communicate effectively orally, and in technical writing. • Utilize resources such as electronic and print media and diagnostic software to diagnose, and repair machine systems. • Demonstrate a thorough understanding of workplace expectations, job preparedness and readiness. • Apply proper troubleshooting techniques to diagnose and repair agricultural and construction equipment. AGRICULTURAL MECHANICS (MAJOR #R.8281.AS ) ASSOCIATE IN SCIENCE DEGREE The Associate in Science degree for Agricultural Mechanics provides practical hands-on instruction in the areas of basic agricultural mechanics, welding/fabrication, small engine repair and maintenance, electricity, motors and controls, blue print reading, power transmission hydraulics and machine operation. This program includes lecture based classes and practical hands- on laboratory activities. This degree will benefit students who want to become agricultural mechanics instructors, maintenance mechanics, further their knowledge by transferring to a four-year college or university, or who want to work in the agricultural mechanics field. Program Learning Outcomes: At the completion of this program students will be able to: • Perform basic maintenance and repairs to agricultural electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic machines/equipment. • Demonstrate the ability to fabricate tools and small equipment. • Successfully obtain employment in the agricultural mechanics field. • Demonstrate the ability to safely and properly operate agricultural equipment. • Demonstrate the ability to construct agricultural projects using wood, metal and various types of plumbing materials such as metal, PVC, PE and concrete pipe. • Perform engine repairs to small a gas and diesel engines.
