Diesel engines drive industry and commerce. While large trucks, buses, and construction equipment often come to mind when the subject is diesel power, these vehicles make up only a portion of the prime movers in service throughout industry.

Also known as compression ignition engines, or CI, diesels help power hospitals, drilling and mining equipment, locomotives, ships, power stations, and more. The advancements in diesel engine technology have made the effectiveness of the shade-tree mechanic obsolete.

Additionally, the increasingly stringent requirements on the control of diesel emissions drive a growing demand for skilled diesel technicians, formally trained in all aspects of diesel engine technology of today, and tomorrow.
