abstract = "Agricultural mechanics is perhaps one of the most widely taught courses within agricultural education programs. Agricultural education is constantly changing as new advances are made and new techniques and equipment are put into use. Agricultural Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications (7th ed.) provides a thorough introduction to the field of agricultural mechanics. The text covers fundamental mechanical and engineering theory, common tools and materials, and practical applications, including shop orientation and procedures, woodworking and metalworking, tool fitting, project planning, cutting and welding, paints and paint application, power mechanics, electrical wiring, plumbing, hydraulics, concrete and masonry, and agricultural structures. Safety is also emphasized all through the text, and a dedicated unit introduces students to different career opportunities. The current edition also features new information on the National FFA Organization and SAEs, first aid, and engine-powered equipment, as well as new activities and lab exercises.",
