Diesel Equipment Technology

Texas employs more diesel engine specialists than any other state in the country.

Diesel keeps the world moving. From heavy equipment to farm machinery, diesel engines are in many of the big rigs used in transportation worldwide. Diesel service technicians repair and maintain diesel engines that power equipment to haul needed goods across the country. TSTC students get hands-on training on various types of engines. Plus, with TSTC’s Money-Back Guarantee (opens in a new tab) , you can be sure that you will have a job within six months of graduation or receive a tuition refund.
