Students will gain experience in the day to day operations of a live diesel repair shop with real customers in conjunction with a systems based classroom component. Through theory lectures, shop field trips, student driven research, computer-based learning software and lab training students will spend time investigating each of the following diesel systems: engines, fuel injection, electrical systems, hydraulics, air brake systems, preventive maintenance, power  tools, fasteners, and equipment. Students will learn diesel engine overhaul skills needed to enter the field as an agricultural, industrial and consumer products technician. Tractor trailer trucks and construction equipment maintenance are included in the program. Second year students who qualify may apply to do a cooperative work experience at a local business with industry partners. Leadership training through FFA is also an integral part of this course.
