Technology
 Our Diesel Technology Program
prepares you for a career in the area of diesel repair,
maintenance, and testing of diesel engines, power trains, and
components of trucks and heavy construction equipment.
You'll find all the information
about Diesel Technology here plus the tools to apply for
admission at DMACC and register for classes.
Students work in our lab on diesel engines. In our program, you'll
receive lots of hands-on experience.
If you have any questions, visit Program Contacts for easy access to who
can assist you.
The program is accredited by the AED Foundation.
Congratulations to Aaron Bigelow
