Working in dealer service centers, technicians perform preventivemaintenance to keep equipment in optimum working order, evaluate problemsusing specialized computer diagnostic tools and software and perform regularinspections to ensure safe machine operation.Technicians work with all aspects of the machine––this includes:• electronic controlled diesel engines• electrical systems• electronic monitor and controls systems• hydraulics• transmission and final drives• air conditioning systemsTo pursue a career as a diesel powered equipment technician, you should possessmechanical aptitude, manual dexterity, agility, problem-solving skills, computerskills and have the ability to learn to read system schematics and engineeringspecifications.2. What are the objectives of this training?The objectives of the Diesel Powered Equipment Technology Programs areas follows:• Develop skills necessary to service and repair agricultural equipment,heavy trucks, and construction equipment.• Develop an understanding of diesel fuel systems, electricity and electronics,hydraulics, transmissions, engines, electronic controls and monitoring systems,and air-conditioning, and apply these principles to the service of diesel poweredequipment.• Develop skills necessary to service transmissions, air-conditioning, engines,electrical systems, electronic control/monitoring systems, hydraulics, anddiesel fuel system components.1

• Expand the student's basic knowledge of shop tools and increase theirproficiency on the use of tools to service equipment. Instill an attitude of safeworking habits to protect the students and others in the workplace.• Develop and expand the student's knowledge of agricultural, heavy truck, andconstruction equipment and provide instruction in the setup and predeliveryof this equipment.• Encourage students to expand their horizons to permit upward mobilitythrough general education and other related learning experiences.• Develop and expand the student's work ethic skills so the student is fullyprepared for the world of work.• Develop an understanding of the service center and parts departmentoperation.3. Is experience in servicing or operating agricultural, heavy truck,and construction equipment necessary?Previous work experience with this equipment is not required but can be verybeneficial. Experience working for a dealer or other service-related jobs will beuseful in attaining the skills and knowledge necessary for achieving a successfulcareer in the diesel powered equipment industry.4. Who manages the Diesel Powered Equipment Technology classes?Most technical courses are taught by Michael Daugherty, professor,or Jeff Gardner, instructor. They have over 40 years of combined teachingand service experience with equipment.5. When are classes generally scheduled?Classes are conducted from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.However, classes for this program have been grouped as much as possible togenerally meet half days for a full week (Monday-Friday) or full days for a shorterweek (Monday-Thursday). Your class schedule will vary from semester tosemester. Some "free periods" follow classes in this schedule within a givenweek, allowing time for lunch and study.6. What courses will I take?2There are five semesters of study and training in the program over a two-yearperiod. Required courses in this program are listed and described in the back ofthis program overview. This curriculum outline is subject to minor changes asdetermined by periodic evaluations completed by the Diesel Powered EquipmentTechnology Advisory Council. General education courses are often substituted asdetermined by the student's ability.

7. What is "on-the-job training"?On-the-job training is a required and unique part of the program in the secondyear. During the sophomore year, you will complete eight weeks of on-the-jobtraining during both the fall and spring semesters. You will work in a servicecenter a minimum of 40 hours a week for a salary and receive college credit. Aninstructor will periodically visit you and the dealer over the eight-week periodfor evaluation purposes. Salaries earned from on-the-job training vary from$7,500 to $13,200, depending on previous experience, overtime pay, collegeperformance, and the dealer.On-the-job training is not automatic. For you to become eligible foron-the-job training, you must receive satisfactory evaluations on your secondinstructor-student conference held in your freshman year.On-the-job training is a vital part of the program. It provides a real sense of theworld of work, credentials for future employment consideration, and applicationof what has been learned from college courses. Industry looks favorably towardsstudents who have had O.J.T. as part of their college-technical training.8.

Industryhas recognized that an individual with a well-rounded education will most likelysucceed and experience greater upward mobility throughout the student’s career.3

11. Career opportunitiesDiesel powered equipment service technicians work as:• Service technicians• Service managers• Service specialists• Corporate territory service managers• Engineering test technicians• Technical sales professionals12. How will I know this is a quality program?This is a question a prospective student seeking a post-secondary technicaleducation should ask. Visit area dealers who have employed graduates of theprogram. Request an opportunity to view facilities and training aids along withspending a half day or more with students of the program attending class.Bring your parents when you meet the instructor(s) of the program and tourthe facilities. They can be a tremendous asset to asking the right questions.To help you determine if this is a quality program, ask yourself the followingquestions:• How many students are grouped together in the lab environment? In most labenvironments, we put our students in groups of two. Groups of three or moredo not learn as much and do not get as much hands-on training.• Ask to see the training aids used in the classroom discussion and laboratorypractice. How old are these training aids? Are the training aids in goodcondition? How appropriate are these training aids in meeting your careeraspirations?• How much time will you spend gaining hands-on experience in a given course?• Is lab time spent gaining hands-on experience or does the instructordemonstrate service procedures without giving you an opportunity to practicethem?• What will be the total cost of the program?• Does the program provide an internship specific to your career objectives?• Are you given the opportunity to work on "outside" equipment or onlycollege-owned equipment?• How much student-to-instructor contact time is offered in each technical area(i.e., engines, electrical, etc.)?• Does the program provide in-depth training in the diagnosis of engine,electrical, transmission, hydraulic, and air-conditioning?• Will the program give you specific training on agricultural, heavy truck, andconstruction equipment?• How will the money you pay in tuition be used?4At Illinois Central College all your tuition is given back to you in the form ofan education.
