214 Diesel Service Technology Diesel Service Technology Advisers: Blaine R. Thornock and John K. Nelson Description The Diesel Service curriculum consists of practical work experience in inspecting, testing, servicing and repairing all phases of diesel engines and diesel-powered equipment, which prepares the student for beginning employment at the general servicing and repair level. Students majoring in Diesel Service and completing the required course of study indicated in the catalog may graduate with an Institutional Certificate Institutional Diploma, or an Associate of Applied Science in Diesel Technology. Certificates of skill proficiency will be issued for agreed upon achievement levels within the program. Students who wish to continue and complete a Bachelor of Science degree must do so in Automotive Engineering Technology. They should make application with the department chairperson to determine a suitable course of study. More than two years will usually be required to complete a Bachelor of Science degree from the Diesel Service program because area requirements and related subjects have not been satisfied with this curriculum. Professional and Career Outlook The degrees, diplomas and certificates of completion provide entry level skills in varying degrees of responsibility in the over-the-road and off-highway industries. Placement opportunities are excellent and should remain so for several years. Most students obtain jobs as mechanics, technical specialists, or supervisors in the repair and maintenance of diesel powered equipment after a relatively short period of employment. Typical employers are major manufacturers of equipment, large fleet and truck lines, contractors and sales and repair companies.
