If you’re interested in working with your hands, solving problems, and keeping big machines moving, Diesel Technology might be the right fit for you. As Central Ohio continues to grow as a major transportation and logistics hub, skilled diesel technicians are more in demand than ever. In this hands-on program, students learn how to inspect, maintain, and repair heavy-duty trucks and industrial equipment used in commercial, agricultural, and construction settings.

Over two years, students dive into everything from air and hydraulic brake systems to engine tear-downs, air flow systems, fuel injection, and electrical circuits. You’ll learn to use diagnostic tools, read schematics, replace faulty components, and understand how complex systems work together. Students also gain experience performing preventive maintenance, inspecting suspension and steering systems, and replacing key parts like spark plugs, coil packs, filters, and fluids.

Whatever your pathway, whether it's employment, enrollment, or enlistment, the Diesel Technology program will provide you the opportunities to reach your goals through valued industry certifications, exposure to our college partners, and taking advantage of our Work-Based Learning program. Several of our graduates go on to become technicians, shop managers and owners, agriculture or industrial power technicians, or hydraulic engineers.
