The Diesel program is designed to train diesel technicians who can maintain, repair, and overhaul diesel engines and support systems. Through lecture and lab instruction, this program provides students with a broad range of knowledge and skills necessary to work within the dynamic field of diesel technology. The Associate Degree curriculum prepares students to enter industry at the mechanic level. After gaining experience, graduates of the associate-level program can expect to move into a position with the potential of advancing to shop foreman, service manager, branch manager, service writer, or
field technical service representative; some may even run their own businesses.
Course Outcomes
Truck Components I | Truck Components II | Electrical Systems | Fuel Systems
Students will have an opportunity to earn four Cummins Engine Company and Cummins Power Generation certificates. The Power Generation concentration prepares students for entry of the mobile, standby, and prime power electrical power generation field.

*ENGL101 - A student, based on testing scores, may place out of English Composition I (ENGL101) and substitute any college-level writing course in its place. This is also the case if a student placed into an equivalent to ENGL102 at another school and was not required to take the ENGL101 equivalent. Currently there are only three options for replacement: ENGL107 Technical Writing; ENGL119 Creative Writing; JOUR120 Newspaper Journalism.
#Survey of Physics (PHYS131), Technical Physics I (PHYS141), College Physics I (PHYS151), General Physics I (PHYS161).
##Concepts of Technical Physics II (PHYS133), Technical Physics II (PHYS142), College Physics II (PHYS152), or General Physics II (PHYS162).
**Compressed Natural Gas Engines (DIES223), or Electronic Mid-Range Diesel Engines (DIES224).
This program awards the A.S. Degree upon completion of a minimum of 20 courses and 62 credits.
Graduation Requirement
Computer Keyboarding Competency may be fulfilled by taking CTIM 100, CTIM 148, or passing the keyboarding competency exam. |
