As a former ag mechanics instructor, I have a passion for quality programs in welding, engines, andconstruction. Helping students to develop their technical skills is both challenging and rewarding. How we incorporate these within the ag mechanics curriculum and in our AFNR programs is the key for achieving program quality and student success. As we explore ag mechanics, it is important to focus on the pathway of Power, Structures, and Technical Systems found within the Career Clusters Frameworks model developed by the National Association of Slate Directors of Career Technical Education (NASDCTE) Consortium.
