The Agricultural Technology Management (AGT) emphasis prepares students for careers within the agricultural industry. The emphasis has five focus areas including: Greenhouse/Controlled Environment Agriculture Field Crop Production and Management Ornamental Landscaping/Horticulture Management Animal Agriculture Turf Grass Management Students completing this emphasis gain hands-on experience in developing skills in areas such as welding, plasma cutting, woodworking, electrical wiring, equipment operation, plumbing, irrigation, concrete, surveying, small gas engines, and solar energy technology. Students pursue a course of study that is multidisciplinary providing them with a strong foundation in agricultural sciences and natural resources. In addition to completing general education requirements, the option allows students to enroll in a breadth of coursework in technical agriculture areas such as agricultural mechanics, agricultural resources and economics, animal science, entomology, plant, and soil sciences. Students completing this option gain hands-on experience in developing skills in areas such as welding, plasma cutting, woodworking, electrical wiring, equipment operation, plumbing, irrigation, concrete, surveying, small gas engines, and solar energy technology. An emphasis on hands-on skill development drives the professional coursework that includes laboratory and shop safety, principles and practices in agricultural mechanics, applications in agricultural mechanics, operations in urban agricultural mechanization, irrigation and turf maintenance, communicating knowledge in agriculture, and technology management. Additionally, students have the flexibility to develop an area of specialization in one of many selected technical agriculture areas.
