Target Audience:To enhance Texas A&M University-Kingsville's capacity to teach and provide quality training in agricultural mechanics and leadership. The target audience was underrepresented minority undergraduate and graduate students at Texas A&M University-Kingsville Changes/Problems:
Nothing Reported
What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Training has taken place for both faculty and students. This includes Training on Arclight CNC systems Advanced welding training for university faculty Certified Weld Inspector Training for Faculty Student training in Authentic Leadership How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Results have been disseminated at the state, regional and national level. This includes teaching demonstrations at the Texas Agriculture Teachers Association Annual meeting with attendance from over 2,000 teachers. Research and innovative teaching presentations at the Western and Southern Region meetings of the American Association of Agriculture Educators Conferences (AAAE). Similar presentations were presented at the AAAE National Conference Results have been disseminated at the state, regional and national levels. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
Goal 1: This was accomplished through the purchase and set up of new equipment (Arclight CNC table, welding machines and power tools) in the agricultural mechanics lab. This positively impacted five different courses (AGSC 1352, 1451, 3352, 4353 & AGRI 4350). Through this updated equipment Texas A&M University-Kingsville was able to offer a more rigorous training in agricultural mechanics to our students. This will directly impact the improved future career attainment of our minority Hispanic students. Goal 2: Through the improved training and equipment, we were able to offer courses to a larger number of students. As we are a minority serving instruction, this allowed TAMUK to increase the output of minority leaders in agriculture into the FANH workforce. Goal 3: Students leadership skills were enhanced through in-person and distance-based trainings offered by university faculty and in partnership with industry representatives. Students were able to apply these skills through a variety of service learning events. This included the TAMUK Agricultural Mechanics Project Show, serving over500 high school students, parents and teachers throughout the course of this grant. In addition, through this project, our students led the implementation of area and state-wide agricultural mechanics Career Development Events (CDE). These CDEs were attended by over 400 High School students over the course of this project. A&M Kingsville students were responsible for the coordination and execution of these events.

Target Audience:To enhance Texas A&M University-Kingsville's capacity to teach and provide quality training in agricultural mechanics and leadership. Changes/Problems:
Nothing Reported
What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Professional development in advanced welding systems and in authentic leadership development have been offered to our undergraduate and graduate students. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Research and teaching presentations at the state and national level. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Complete lab trainings and set up of an remaingins equipment. Will continue to coordinate the Agricultural Mechanics CDEs and the TAMUK Agriclutural Mechanics Show.
Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
This goal was accomplished this year the\rough the purchase of new equipment that was integrated into four courses. This also helped aid the insittution in coordinating teacher training and workshops. Increasing the diversity of career professionals in food and agricultural sciences. This was accomplished through training of udnerrpresetned students at TAMUK Approximentally 85 minority students were served each semesters (over 160 a year) through this project. This increased training will help them to be more successful in future career aspirations. Enhancing the leadership skills of underrepresented students in agriculture through industry leader presentations and service learning activities Students' leadership skills were imporved through the trainings offered through this grant and the courses (AGRI 4350 and AGSC 3367) that students were able to enroll in thatnks to this grant funding. This included approx. 120 minority students impacted through this training

Target Audience:The target audience for this project is university agricultural science majors taking agricultural mechanics courses and university agricultural mechanics faculty. The secondary audience is high school agricultural mechanics students and teachers. This grant has directly influenced over 150 university agricultural science, animal science and plant science majors. Changes/Problems:Major problems we ran into was shpiing & production delays for equipment. This put us behind schedule for implementing certain pieces of equipemnt into specfic classes. We also were limited in some of our training programs as participants were not able to meet due to the COIVD-19 pandemic. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?This has provided training for teachers (40) and students (200+) in both classes (4) and formal teacher trainings (2). How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?The results have been distributed through publications in teh Journal of Agricutural Education. We have also presented the research and educaitonal program findngs at both regional and national conferences. The results of teacher trainings was shared at state teachers conference and local university meetings. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?We plan on contiuning to update lab equipment and integrate these into addittional courses (AGSC 3363 and AGRI 4395). We will also conitnue to offer trainigns to both university students and current agricutlural science teachers.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals?
The capacity to teach was enhanced through the purchase of new welding and meatal working equipment during the first year of this project. The ability to provide quality training through our program was enhanced through grant fudned training that hte PI took part in related to small engines and power machinery systems. The goalof increasing diversity of career professionals is bing achieved through improved training of the high minority TAMUK student population. Enhanced leadreship experiences have been devloped through the support of the TAMUK Agricultural Mechanics project show.
