Program Description:
 
The Diesel and Equipment Maintenance Technology program prepares students for employment as service technicians in the transportation and construction industries. The diesel engine is the workhorse powering the nation’s trucks and buses because it delivers more power, is more efficient, and is more durable than its gasoline-burning counterpart. Heavy equipment maintenance technicians maintain, repair, and overhaul mobile heavy equipment highway transport vehicles, construction and earth-moving equipment, tractors, and mobile industrial equipment. Job titles include: Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Mechanic; Diesel Technician; Mobile Heavy Equipment Specialist or Mechanic Diesel Truck Specialist; Bus, Truck, Diesel Engine Mechanic and Repairer; and Service Manager.

This program is based on standards developed by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) and the Standards for Construction Equipment Technology developed by the Associated Equipment Distributors.

Students who choose this curriculum and want to transfer to a four-year institution should check with the program coordinator and/or academic advisor. Courses may be taken in any sequence as long as prerequisites are met. Some courses may be offered in alternate semesters only.
