Agriculture Construction II is an advanced course designed for students who want to further develop their welding and fabrication skills through rigorous, hands-on learning experiences. Building on foundational skills from introductory coursework, students will advance in oxy-acetylene welding, arc welding, MIG welding, TIG welding, and the construction of large-scale metal projects.
Throughout the course, students will complete welding tests in every position using each type of welder, ensuring mastery of industry-relevant techniques and safety practices. Students will also take full responsibility for designing, ordering, purchasing, and constructing a major individualized shop project, applying real-world problem-solving, project planning, and fabrication skills.
Agriculture Construction II includes a significant lab component, providing extensive time for welding practice, equipment operation, and project development. Students enrolled in this course are required to be active members of the Neosho FFA Chapter, where they can extend their technical and leadership skills through Supervised Agricultural Experiences (SAEs), Career Development Events (CDEs), and other FFA activities.
This advanced course is ideal for students interested in welding, metal fabrication, engineering, agricultural mechanics, construction trades, or pursuing industry certifications.
Prerequisites for this course include the successful completion of Agricultural Power and Technology, Principles of Animal Science, Principles of Plant Science, or SAE Project. This course can be taken concurrently with Agriculture Construction I.
