Students graduating from the Diesel Technology program are highly sought after by employers.

Diesel Technology is a two-year program admitting students in the Fall and Spring semester every year.

In 1995 and 2001 our program gained certification from Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). Our curriculum is written to Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) standards and our graduates are prepared to pass ASE certification exams in the following eight areas: Gasoline Engines, Brakes, Diesel Engines, Suspension & Steering, Drive Train, Electrical/Electronics Systems, Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning, and Preventive Maintenance Inspection.
