The student will acquire the basic skills to develop the mechanization of the operations of the main agricultural, forestry and green maintenance sites.
In particular, he will be able to choose suitable machines for quality work (knowing materials, operating modes) and respecting constraints on mechanization (economic, environmental, safety, etc.).

EXPECTED LEARNING RESULTS
• Knowledge and understanding skills
The student will acquire knowledge and understanding about the principles underlying the design and operation of machines and plants and know how to introduce them into agricultural, forestry and green maintenance sites, while respecting various constraints.

• Ability to apply knowledge and understanding
The student will acquire the skills to apply the theoretical knowledge of the topics dealt in the course with a critical sense for the identification of individual machines, a park of machinery or plant for agricultural, forestry and green maintenance yards.

• Autonomy of judgment
The student will be able to select specific machines and plants suitable for the various types of agricultural, forestry and green maintenance sites, in an objective way, without letting them be influenced by the machine manufacturers and also respecting the social, scientific or ethics related to each decision of mechanization.

• Communicative Skills
The student will be able to communicate machine and plant information and their technical and economic requirements to third parties (employers, clients such as farms, forestry companies, etc.), motivating their choices .

• Learning ability
The articulation of the course will be developed in such a way as to convey to the students at first the "transversal" basic concepts, regarding any type of machine. Next, individual types of machines will be treated (most commonly in agricultural, forestry and green maintenance sites). The topics will be dealt with in order to stimulate the will to learn, in the logic of gradually developing knowledge, from mechanical materials and principles, to building and safety aspects, to machine management. The same logic is required in the creation of a textbook or presentation that will be taken into account in the assessment of learning.
