The diesel industry is growing and there is a current and future need for qualified technicians. Diesel engines are more powerful and durable than gas engines, making them a popular alternative in the trucking, busing, agriculture, and construction industries. Diesel technicians perform complete engine overhauls, minor preventative maintenance services, and everything in between. Job opportunities are going unfilled in the Miami Valley and throughout Ohio and the country. The Clark State Diesel Technology certificate provides the introductory skills needed to begin working in the diesel maintenance field. All courses taken on this certificate can be applied to the Associate of Technical Studies degree in Diesel Technology.
