(a) General requirements. This course is recommended for students in Grades 11 and 12. Recommended prerequisite: Agricultural Mechanics and Metal Technologies. Students shall be awarded one credit for successful completion of this course.
(b) Introduction.
(1) Career and technical education
instruction provides content aligned with challenging academic standards and
relevant technical knowledge and skills for students to further their education
and succeed in current or emerging professions.
(2) The Agriculture, Food, and Natural
Resources Career Cluster focuses on the production, processing, marketing,
distribution, financing, and development of agricultural commodities and
resources, including food, fiber, wood products, natural resources,
horticulture, and other plant and animal products/resources.
(3) In Agricultural Equipment Design and
Fabrication, students will acquire knowledge and skills related to the design
and fabrication of agricultural equipment. To prepare for careers in mechanized
agriculture and technical systems, students must attain knowledge and skills
related to agricultural equipment design and fabrication. To prepare for
success, students reinforce, apply, and transfer their academic knowledge and
technical skills in a variety of settings.
(4) Students are encouraged to participate in
extended learning experiences such as career and technical student
organizations and other leadership or extracurricular organizations.
