Diesel Technology
The Diesel Technology program teaches students the basics on how to inspect, repair, and maintain any type of diesel engine. Our hands-on program will show students how to diagnose and fix engines, brake systems, drive trains, hydraulic systems, and electrical systems. Students have access to real diesel equipment, industry standard tools and diagnostic software, and a 10,000 square foot diesel shop.
