UNIT GOAL: Students will demonstrate a knowledge of fasteners and their
           common uses and will be able to identify fasteners commonly used 
           in agricultural mechanics (i.e., power, metal fabrication, and 
           structure fasteners).

UNIT OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this unit, students will be able to:

1. Identify five samples of each of the various fasteners used in power, 
   metal fabrication, and structures.

2. Demonstrate the ability to select the proper fasteners and hardware for 
   specific jobs or for situations encountered in agricultural mechanics 
   projects.
