Diesel Technology
Love to get your hands dirty? The Diesel Technology program at Highland Community College Technical Center may have just what you're looking for!
Responsibilities of trained diesel technicians are becoming more complex as more electronic components control engines. Students are trained to maintain, diagnose, and repair diesel engines. Much of the instruction is hands-on working in a "live" diesel shop.
Visit our diesel shop and meet our instructors. See if our Diesel Technology Program is what you're looking for! Call 913-367-6204 to schedule a tour!
