AgMech 3/4 is a course designed to meet the needs of students seeking careers in ag mechanics. In this course, students will experience a wide variety of construction and engineering techniques including construction skills (concrete, framing, plumbing, electrical) and agricultural welding (OFW, OFC, SMAW, GMAW, GTAW and plasma torch.) Students will participate in specific training and then put those skills into action. The culminating project will be a large-scale public showcase project, a community service project, public art showcase, or an instructor-approved internship. Students will design and build their own projects, incorporating the skills they learned in AgMech 1 and AgMech 2.  Additionally, students will explore a variety of avenues available to them after graduation. Field trips to colleges, businesses, job sites and expositions are planned, as well as bringing in industry speakers to supplement classroom training with industry experience. If a student has completed two years of math, including Integrated Math I or Algebra I, this class may count as a third year math requirement.
