What about a career in Diesel Equipment repair?

The Diesel Technology program offers the appeal of a wide variety of challenges as you learn to diagnose and solve diesel equipment problems on commercial vehicles and agricultural implements. You can choose to seek a diploma in either area or both skill areas by adding the third year option as described in the course sequence example plan. Our students begin by learning theory of operation for modern diesel-powered equipment. You will soon progress to basic maintenance procedures and minor repairs. Advanced training in this comprehensive program includes diagnostic skills for many vehicle systems including those that are electronically controlled.

You can look forward to working in a state-of-the-art lab and guidance from highly-qualified instructors who frequently attend industry training. Our courses keep lecture and classroom study to a minimum, emphasizing a “hands-on” approach to training. An active advisory committee made up of local employers assures that the program’s curriculum remains current. An internship is included in our program plan. The second year of training allows students the option to major in either commercial vehicle or agricultural implement repair.


Employment Outlook

Graduates of our diesel training programs have traditionally enjoyed high job placement success. Diesel Technology continues to be a vital link in the nation’s economy and you can look forward to a rewarding career.
