Summary:
|
The District's Educational Services Department has made recommendations for updates in our district-wide course catalog. At this time, we are submitting a new Agriculture course titled Agriculture Welding. The Agriculture Welding course does not meet the UC/CSU A-G requirement.
The Agriculture Welding course integrates mathematics, science, writing, and mechanics. Specific units include Safety and procedures in the Ag Fabrication Shop, Measurement, Project Planning, Plasma and Oxygen/Acetylene Cutting, Oxygen/Acetylene Torch Welding, Gas Metal Arc Welding, Shielded Metal Arc Welding, Careers in Agriculture Fabrication and Mechanics, and a Final Project. Students will focus on understanding the theory of the primary areas and the application of these theories. Students will demonstrate core academic knowledge and critical thinking skills as they apply their knowledge to projects and real-life scenarios. Throughout the course, students will be graded on participation in intra-curricular FFA activities and the development and maintenance of an ongoing Supervised Agricultural Experience (SAE) program.
The Director of Curriculum and Instruction and the Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services has approved the above course.
