The focus of APT is to expose students to mechanics, power, technology, and career options in the world of agriculture. Students participating in the APT course experience various mechanical and engineering concepts with exciting hands-on activities, projects, and problems. Experiences will involve the study of energy, tool operation and safety, material properties, machine operation, and structural components. Students acquire the basic skills to operate, repair, engineer, and design agricultural tools and equipment. Throughout the course, students will apply engineering principles to the construction of machines and structures.

Students will conduct a job shadow experience in a career related to this class during the semester. Classroom and laboratory activities are supplemented through supervised agricultural experiences, and FFA leadership programs and activities.
