About The Program
Description
Medium- and heavy-duty trucks require educated and experienced technicians for their maintenance and repair.
Students in this program work on late-model trucks and diesel engines to gain this knowledge. They learn electrical and electronic theory, which they apply to computerized control systems used on today’s trucks. They also learn how to service and maintain steering, suspension, chassis and braking systems.
