SHSU Agriculture Mechanization

We started our club in the Fall of 1998. Within the first year we were given the Sammy award for the Outstanding New Club. We hold and work many Ag. Mech. contests throughout the State. We participate in community and campus events. The club puts on agricultural mechanization clinics in the spring for the community. At the end of every semester the club holds a banquet for our members and their guests to honor members and reflect on accomplishments. We bring in several speakers from the Agricultural and Mechanization industries to talk with our members about industry standards and improved technology. We provide an opportunity for you to become a member of the American Society of Agricultural Engineers (ASAE) , which has many benefits to offer students interested in the agricultural mechanization field. Come and join us as we continue to grow. For more information use the following links.

FACILITIES

The Agricultural Mechanization lab is in the second phase of construction. The first phase was finished at the end of the Spring of 1999. The completion of the second phase is estimated to be complete in August of 2000. The lab is used for all Ag Mech classes. It is fully equipped with tools to work with both metal and wood fabrication, joining and engine repair of both gasoline and diesel engines.
