Diesel Service Technology is a two-year secondary program which provides students with a foundation of skills and knowledge related to the service and repair of diesel vehicles and power equipment. Students who complete the program may enter employment in an entry level position, or continue their education in a postsecondary program such as diesel technology, heavy equipment maintenance, or related areas. Students receive instruction in the maintenance and service of a variety of vehicles including small equipment, automobiles, trucks, and tractors/construction equipment.
The first year includes instruction in foundation skills/safety procedures, leadership, tool and equipment usage, measurement, basic vehicle service, brakes/hydraulic service, and electrical system service.
The second year provides students with a review of foundation skills and safety procedures, advanced leadership skills, advanced tool and equipment usage, diesel engine (performance and repair), advanced electrical systems, and steering and suspension.
The program is aligned with ASE/NATEF Medium/Heavy Truck Technician standards. The student will receive instruction and training in: Brakes, Electrical/Electronics, Diesel, and Steering and Suspension.
