 Return to: Programs Offered (A to Z)
The Diesel Service Technology program gives the students an opportunity to gain a broader knowledge and to achieve a higher skill level in Diesel Service Technology than is offered in other one-year certificate programs. There is also a general education component integrated into the program to satisfy demands for appropriate workforce skills. Upon completing the A.A.S. degree program, students have the necessary skills to become employed as entry-level Diesel Service Technicians.
Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to:
- Employ safety skills in an industrial maintenance facility setting.
- Demonstrate professionalism with attitude, conduct, and ethical work practices.
- Evaluate, diagnose, and repair various Diesel systems.
- Identify specifications related to the inspection, repair, and adjustment of Diesel systems.
- Use various test equipment to diagnose and repair defects.
- Apply basic electrical theory using wiring diagrams and schematics to diagnose and repair Diesel electrical circuits.
- Explain the operation of, and perform service on, automatic and manual transmissions, axles, and differentials.
- Analyze defects of Diesel air conditioning and climate control systems and identify necessary preventative maintenance or corrective repairs.
- Discuss the theory of alignment, braking, suspension and steering systems, problem diagnosis and correction of braking, suspension, steering, and alignment problems

Developmental Courses
Sussex has embraced a practice of directed self-choice whereby students are encouraged, through guided conversations with an advisor, to best determine their readiness for this course. Students should be aware that Developmental Studies exist and are available to help strengthen skills and encourage success. Pursuing testing and/or developmental courses is entirely up to the student. Further, testing, though providing a valuable reference point for reflection, does not create for the student an obligation to follow Accuplacer recommendations.
The exception to this is where students seek enrollment in higher-level math courses. Students wishing to enroll in the following math courses are required to take and adhere to placement guidance from, the Advanced Algebra and Functions test, as part of Accuplacer, through the college’s testing center, for admission into any of the following courses: MATH 110, MATH 112, and MATH 113. Please note, courses in other disciplines may also require advanced mathematics placement. Students should check with their advisor.
