PROGRAM OVERVIEW
If you live in the United States, almost every single thing you eat, wear or use has been
transported by diesel powered vehicles and alternative/green power plants.
If you live in the United States, almost every single thing you eat, wear or use was
delivered by a diesel-powered vehicle.
New EPA/CARB regulations have impacted the fuel technology and energy source/
design used. Trucks, trains, buses and many other medium and heavy duty vehicles
have evolved to match today’s more stringent clean air emission standards. Graduates
of the Diesel Technology program are well paid and have a diverse choice of areas in
which to specialize. In recent years, the demand from local employers has exceeded
our supply of qualied graduates as the program continues to grow.
After successful completion of the program requirements, students will become
procient in all aspects of diesel engine fundamentals, electrical components, fuel
systems, overhaul procedures, air brake system and the construction and operation
of diesel engines.
PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES (PLOs)
Upon completion of the Degree/Certicate program, students are able to:
• Identify and explain the operation of diesel vehicle systems (such as engine,
transmissions, brakes, electrical and suspension) along with their related
subsystems and related industry standards.
• Diagnose and repair diesel powered vehicles and systems using various
manufacturer diagnostic software, tools, and shop equipment in accordance
with industry standards.
