This course seeks to develop basic competencies and attributes commensurate with the intuitive and professional skills sought in agricultural technology graduates. Agricultural Technology professionals are required to employ and integrate a range of multidisciplinary skills to develop practical and relevant solutions for site specific, complex agricultural production challenges. This course provides a broad introduction to the practical aspects of implementing an agricultural technology solution and focuses on the development of analytical, manual, diagnostic, communication and group interaction skills by providing the students with a range of real world agricultural challenges to solve as a team through the application and integration of knowledge developed through their program in the areas of agricultural science, GIS, GPS and data science.

This course covers a range of practical activities in the area of agricultural technology. Students will install and operate agricultural technologies as part of a team in the farm environment and/or remotely via internet access. Students will then analyse output and present the subsequent results, gaining practice in extracting knowledge from data and communicating these results. The course provides an opportunity to put into practice developing skills in the use of spatial data management and analysis and instrumentation. Practical activities will be undertaken as a team requiring students to work collaboratively to establish and maintain a functioning team and plan team activities. Students will also be required to commence planning for future industry placements including identifying suitable host enterprises and projects aligned with their career goals and aspirations. Students that are already in employment may define a project in consultation with their employer, however, the work placement should be unrelated to their usual workplace activities and focus on graduate roles and opportunities.

This course includes a mandatory residential school for external students and mandatory attendance at practical sessions for on-campus students.

This course is delivered across two semesters. Students enrolling in a full-time load should check the recommended enrolment pattern in the Handbook to ensure this course is paired with other 0.5-unit courses including AGR1104/AGR2104 or AGR2209 as appropriate.

On completion of this course students should be able to:

1. Demonstrate competence in the use of agricultural technologies in a real-world environment;
2. Present results and agricultural technology output to a specified standard;
3. Work effectively as a member, participating in completing tasks, and supporting others in achievement of team goals;
4. Formulate plans to guide the successful execution of individual and team practical activities;
5. Undertake critical self-review and performance evaluation against course objectives as a primary means of tracking personal development needs and achievements.
