In early November the Etowah Construction class visited the YANMAR Evo Center. The students participated in sessions taught by the YANMAR team. During the sessions the students were exposed to multiple facets of the construction industry and the role that YANMAR plays within society and the industry. In the electrical trouble shooting session, led by David Long the students were presented with an opportunity to check components for voltage, resistance and continuity using a multimeter on an operational electrical training board containing many components of a tractor. Shane McCleon with Carroll Daniel Construction Group shared with the students the many different facets of Construction Management and shared the many different avenues that students can take to reach their goals in the construction industry. Safety is a key priority at YANMAR, the students learned about proper code of conduct while working with heavy equipment. They learned the proper safety attire that should be worn and why, where and where not to stand, proper protocol when entering and exiting construction equipment, as well as picking the right equipment for the job. The students ended the day taking turns trying out the various pieces of YANMAR equipment in their product demonstration field.
We cannot Thank the team at YANMAR for sharing their knowledge and experience with these students!
