Diesel Service Technician is a pathway for students in the Transportation career cluster. This pathway is designed for students who wish to diagnose and repair the systems and components related to diesel engines. The pathway emphasizes the techniques and tools used in servicing diesel systems and components. Both theoretical learning and activity-based learning are provided for students who wish to develop and enhance their competencies and skills. The courses focus on the basic areas of diesel engine components, electrical and electronic systems, and hydraulics. Exposure to state-of-the-art equipment is given through expert advice from industry. The comprehensive project component provides practical experience toward developing a portfolio of work.
The Diesel Service Technician pathway was written to incorporate the National Automotive Technicians Education Foundation (NATEF) learning objectives, content, and hours. Any student who successfully completes this pathway will be eligible to apply to obtain the ASE exams. ASE requires two years of employment before certificates are issued. Students receive one year of credit for completion of the secondary program. Students who take certifications before the two-year requirement is met will be granted certifications after they complete one year of diesel service employment. NATEF is a national certification recognized throughout the transportation service industry. Each district should implement a maximum student number due to the size of each lab.
