This 16-day Hydraulics and Pneumatics Unit from the Agricultural Mechanics Course focuses on the hydraulics and pneumatics career pathways. Students will identify components of a hydraulic and pneumatic system, calculate pressure and force using Pascal's Law, learn how to interpret hydraulic schematics, and identify safety concerns involved with hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Students will also complete several hands-on projects, including a pneumatic grain drill model, a hydraulic braking system model, and a hydraulic crane model using syringes and plastic tubing.
