  1. SAE Projects Ms Russell

  2. What is an SAE Project? • The supervised agricultural experience (SAE) program involves practical agricultural activities performed by students outside of scheduled classroom and laboratory time. SAE’s provide a method in agricultural education for students to receive real-world career experiences in an area of agriculture that they are most interested in.

  3. Benefits to Students • Assists with career and personal choices while building self-esteem. • Applies business practices such as record keeping and money management. • Nurtures individual talents and develops a cooperative attitude toward others. • Builds character and encourages citizenship and volunteerism. • Developing self-confidence and a good work ethic. • Providing educational and agricultural experiences in a specialized area of agriculture. • Giving practical meaning to courses studied in school. • Providing an opportunity to earn money while learning. • Developing employability and thinking skills. • Helping to develop the ability to assume responsibility. • Assisting in making the transition from school to work. • Providing an opportunity to become established in an agricultural business/career.

  4. Types of SAE Projcets • Placement • Entrepreneurship • Agriscience Research • Exploratory

  5. Placement SAE • Student will work for an employer of their choice. • This can include the student earning a wage for their labor or volunteer work with the business.

  6. Placement SAE • Where might you work? • Ranch • Government agency • Labs • Ag buisness

  7. Placement SAE • Why is it good? • One of the primary advantages of placement is that students receive supervision and instruction by their employer/mentor outside the classroom. • They also have a chance to explore agricultural careers, build a resume and earn money. • For employers, placement programs offer an enthusiastic and capable work force with the potential to benefit their business and the community.

  8. Entrepreneurship SAE • Student will run and operate his or her own business. • This can be either related to animal production, crop production, or agribusiness.

  9. Entrepreneurship SAE • Within this SAE category, students acquire skills and competencies needed for a production agriculture or agribusiness enterprise while gaining valuable hands-on experience and, in most cases, earning a profit. • Entrepreneurship programs require students to learn all aspects of business ownership including planning, implementation, operations and financial risk, as well as the production, management and distribution of goods and/or services.

  10. Entrepreneurship SAE • Entrepreneurial SAE opportunities range from traditional livestock ownership and farming operations to agricultural sales and service, agricultural processing and several others. • It is not uncommon for these programs to blossom into future careers!

  11. Agriscience Research SAE • This is a science based experience using laboratory procedures to study a problem related to agriculture. • This can be either a placement or entrepreneurship enterprise.

  12. Agriscience Research SAE • This type of SAE allows students to examine an agricultural/scientific issue, question or principle using experimental or non-experimental methods.

  13. Agriscience Research SAE • In an experimental program, students conduct and develop scientific experiments to solve a problem or gain new knowledge. • For non-experimental SAEs, students assume the role of “detective” to address a problem or answer a question through extensive research.

  14. Agriscience Research SAE • In either case, the use of scientific principles, literature review, experiment/activity planning, data collection and information analysis is applied to arrive at a final conclusion. • The FFA recognizes student research achievements in Agriscience through the FFA Agriscience Fair Program and various proficiency categories.

  15. Exploratory SAE • This type of SAE was designed for the “short term” FFA member that does not plan on taking an additional agriculture class or compete in proficiencies; however, any student may wish to complete an exploratory project. • Students completing an Exploratory SAE will complete several agricultural literacy and agricultural career awareness activities throughout the year- primarily a job shadowing experience.

  16. Exploratory SAE • An exploratory SAE program is designed to increase student agricultural career awareness and/ or agricultural literacy through exploration activities.

  17. Exploratory SAE • Activities within an exploratory program may include observing, interviewing or assisting an individual in an ag-related profession; participating in a field day or event; collecting materials on a topic; or giving a classroom demonstration. • These programs are planned cooperatively by the student, parent/guardian, teacher and others directly involved. The two main categories for exploratory activities include career exploration and agricultural literacy.

  18. Things to Consider with YOUR SAE Project… • Cost • Profit potential • Land or space required • Availability of equipment • Time to complete • Time taken away from students • Legal issue (of age to work?) • Is the student learning? • Is there a personal interest?
