AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY
The Agricultural Engineering
Technology Program is designed to educate a student in the repair, service,
operation, and marketing of equipment used in agricultural production,
industrial applications, and turfgrass management.
This program of study is intended to provide young men and women with the
education needed for entry-level positions in both the agricultural and
industrial equipment areas. A student will also have received sufficient
courses in the general education area to allow for rising to middle management
level positions. Typical employment opportunities include parts manager,
service manager, or service representative. Upon completion of the program of
study, the student is eligible for the Associate of Applied Science degree in
Agricultural Engineering Technology.
A grade of less than C
indicates a level of knowledge that is unacceptable in a professional field. A
student is required to earn a C or better in all AENG/AENT courses.

Environmental Horticulture
Technology offers education in these specialized areas for men and women. As
highly skilled technicians and supervisory personnel, graduates obtain
employment in one of these highly specialized ornamental and environmental
industries. This program provides the individual with a detailed understanding
of the technical requirements of the industry and helps the student develop
skills needed as a commercial environmental horticulturalist. Also, the program
allows a student the opportunity to further develop critical thinking and
problem-solving skills needed in the work place. A student educated in this
program will find employment with golf courses, commercial properties, contract
maintenance, garden centers, athletic and recreational areas, production and
retail nurseries, schools, colleges, lawn maintenance and landscape companies,
and related horticultural and agronomic service and/or production careers.
To be eligible to receive the
Associate of Applied Science degree in Environmental Horticulture, each student
must complete the required courses of one specific management area. A grade of
C or better is required in ENGL 1101, MATH 1002 and all classes with AENT,
AGRP, AGRY and HORT prefixes.
Many students earn at least
two of the above degrees to better prepare them for the work force and improve
their employability. The program is a mix of traditional and nontraditional
students. Many non-traditional students enter the program with a previous
degree and complete the technical classes within a year. A student lacking
sufficient job experience is encouraged to participate in a minimum of two
internship (on-the-job training) programs. Also, a student is encouraged to
become a student member of the state and/or national professional trade
organizations (i.e., Golf Course Superintendents Association of America,
Georgia Golf Course Superintendents Association, Professional Lawn Care
Association of America, Club Managers Association of America, American
Association of Nurserymen, Southern Nurserymen Association, Georgia Green
Industry Association, etc.) as applicable to the chosen major. Scholarships are
available to specific majors from industry and professional organizations.
