Chattanooga
State's Diesel Equipment Mechanics program is designed to train students
to be diesel engine mechanics. The program prepares students for entry into the work
force of maintaining large diesel engine-powered fleets of both on-highway and off-highway
vehicles. Diesel mechanics in smaller shops are usually general mechanics who
are qualified to
perform a variety of repairs. In larger diesel shops, mechanics specialize in
particular types of repair work. For example, some may specialize in repairing only power
transmissions, torque converters, diesel engines, or brakes. Usually such specialists have
an all-around knowledge of diesel repair and may occasionally be called upon to do other
types of work.
