Overview

This is an entry-level program that develops the basic knowledge and skills needed to perform routine maintenance and repairs to vehicle systems and components. The program is designed to prepare students to adjust, service, and repair a variety of heavy mobile equipment, usually diesel powered, used in construction, agriculture, or highway transportation. The work will involve basic servicing to engines and related equipment, and performing repairs. This will include transmission servicing, hydraulic/air brakes, and basic electrical in heavy duty application. Emphasis during training will be on practical projects. Most of the training will take place at the College in the diesel mechanics workshop, a work environment designed to provide the practical experience students will need to find a job. Students will spend approximately 60 percent of their training hours doing practical work on engines, standard transmissions, automatic transmissions, basic electric, basic brake systems, and servicing of equipment. A number of related trade courses such as arc and gas welding, mathematics, science, and communications are included in the program. Theory grades are determined by examinations in each course, while practical evaluations are determined from each instructor's practical assignments. Prior to starting the program, students will be invited to attend a program overview information session. Students will also be invited to participate in a math and reading skills diagnostic testing session that will advise them of their program readiness.
