3.00 Credits
This course is designed to provide a fundamental knowledge of the theory, operation, and safety related to both industrial and low voltage applications. Students will learn about both high voltage, high amperage power and low voltage current. Basic operating characteristics of motors, regulators, and controls found in agricultural machinery will also be covered. Study will cover farm power from 480 volt three phase down to 12 volt ag machinery.
-
3.00 Credits
Proper equipment service and maintenance are the focus of this class. Lubrication, filters, wear detection, part replacement, scheduling, preventative maintenance and repair, and proper fuel selection will be included. Students will learn how to keep equipment in production.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will examine the principles and operation of hydraulic power systems from transmissions to lifting devices. Proper maintenance, safety procedures, and repair will be critical components of the curriculum. Students will learn to fabricate using hydraulics to perform work. They will design systems, sizing hydraulic applications to achieve efficient work and utility. Related equipment, like pumps, cylinders, reservoirs, motors, filters, valves, and pressure regulators will be studied.

3.00 Credits
Virtually all of today's agricultural equipment utilizes some form of electronics to control its function. This course is designed to provide the student with a basic understanding of electronics and their applications in agricultural mechanics. A major focus of this effort will be the diagnosis of electronic problems and the location of the troublesome component(s). Circuit components and their function will be covered along with the inter-connection of electronic and mechanical components. Study will include power supplies, switches, relays, regulators, wiring, circuit breakers, capacitors, resistors, and indicators. Prerequisite: AP150.

Both powered and non-powered machinery will be included to cover most of the common equipment found on farms and ranches of eastern Montana.
-
4.00 Credits
Both gasoline and diesel engines will be addressed in this course. Topics ranging from basic operating principles to advanced diagnostics will be covered in detail. Proper operation and preventative maintenance will be stressed along with field based repair procedures. The basic intent of the course is to teach students, internal combustion principles so they can operate, maintain, and recognize potential problems with engines. Students will learn how to keep engines in production.
-
4.00 Credits
This course will cover topics related to the transfer of power from motor or engine to the work. Specific emphasis will be placed on standard transmissions, automatic transmissions, direct drives, gear reductions, belt drive systems, chain drive systems, power take-offs, remote hydraulics, and remote electrical applications. Proper operation, maintenance, diagnostics, and repair of these systems will be included.
-
3.00 Credits
A maximum of (3 Credits) may be earned for work experience with approved agencies. Students must be enrolled in a vocational/technical program and be working actively toward a degree. The student will work under the supervision of an instructor who will determine the number of credits to be earned based on the number of working hours and work responsibility. In general, 45 hours of work experience including the seminar, is equivalent to one credit. The internship program is directed by the college and the student's work is controlled by the supervising instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
This course will provide an introductory overview to the elements of visual arts. Students are presented with a variety of art experiences including various media and production processes, the language of aesthetics, and art criticism. The terminal objective of this course is to give students the opportunity to create art, to explore aesthetics, and to gain an awareness of the visual world around them. Students interested in an introduction to the basic language of art, education majors, or those seeking an AA degree are encouraged to enroll.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a foundation for the understanding and appreciation of many art forms of the world including major movements, artists, and specific works. The interrelationship of art to society is explored via lectures, imagery, and class discussions.
