Diesel technology is part of virtually every aspect of today’s transportation, construction, and manufacturing industries. Oil rigs, power plants, hydraulic systems, cargo ships, locomotives, construction vehicles, farming equipment, mining equipment and diesel trucks – most of these vehicles are powered by diesel engines.

Students are trained in the repair and servicing of diesel-powered equipment. Emphasis is placed on the needs of local business and industry. Skills are enhanced by “hands-on” work involving actual maintenance of school owned vehicles and equipment. While the emphasis is on diesel engines, gasoline powered equipment and vehicles are also included as part of the program. Students have the opportunity to obtain state safety inspection licenses.
