Abstract:
The 1968-1969 academic year at Illinois Central College saw two faculty members from different divisions cooperate in developing what we think is an unusual approach to teaching the technical aspects of agricultural mechanics. In keeping with our philosophy of giving all students the most comprehensive treatment of subject matter possible, we embarked on a trial program of voluntary interdivisional teacher exchange between our Agriculture and Science divisions. Our purpose was to supplement course material in Welding, Hydraulics, and Gas Engines, by allowing a science teacher to treat topics of pertinence and interest that were not normally emphasized in standard technical textbooks.
