- [Narrator] The Diesel
Industry is booming
and is a constant factor in our economy.
As they say, if you bought
it, a truck brought it!
- Everything that you touch,
everything that you buy,
was touched by a diesel at some point,
whether it's logging equipment,
whether it's trucks on
the road, trains, boats.
So I feel it's just gonna be here forever
and it's an awesome job
opportunity in general
just to be able to have that knowledge.
- [Narrator] Few programs in the country
are growing faster than
diesel, so get on board.
- The wages are increasing very rapidly
in the diesel mechanic field.
If you went to any of our competitors
or the other diesel shops around us,
you just simply cannot get
enough mechanics today.
- [Narrator] If you are considering
a career as a diesel technician,
the University of Northwestern
Ohio is the right choice!
Our students train with the
same tools and latest equipment
found in service centers and
dealerships across the nation.
Students at UNOH can
choose to study medium
and heavy duty diesel technology
or light duty diesel technology.
Both the medium and heavy duty
and light duty diesel programs
focus on general knowledge
of the vehicle and its engine components,
learning how to troubleshoot problems,
and using computer software
to run diagnostic procedures.
The differences come in the type
of vehicles students
will learn to service.
Medium -heavy duty diesel technicians
will work on diesel engines
and vehicles designed
for shipping, farming,
construction, and much more,
such as semi-trucks,
buses, and rail engines.
Light duty diesel technicians will focus
on eight liter diesel engines and smaller,
which are designed for on-the-road
consumer cars and trucks,
as well as compact tractor
and skid-steer engines.
Plus, UNOH is one of only three schools
in the entire country to offer
the Diesel Advanced
Technology Education program.
You'll have the opportunity
to expand your education
through the DATE program,
which means you could graduate
as a professional level
Mack and Volvo technician.
This certification makes
you more employable
and opens the door to
unlimited earning potential!
In today's diesel repair facilities,
technicians use hand-held
or laptop computers
to diagnose problems and
adjust engine functions.
Plus, EPA emission standards
require technicians
to verify emissions compliance.
Our associate and diploma
programs in diesel technology
will provide the
foundation for your career.
Each of our instructors
brings real world experience
to the classroom from years in the field.
- You bring a problem to an instructor,
you're gonna get a good
answer from these people.
They know what they're talking about.
They're reputable.
They're willing to help and
willing to teach, so it's great.
Choose the University
of Northwestern Ohio,
where you'll learn truck drive trains,
diesel engine diagnosis and repair,
suspension and steering,
transportation air conditioning
and refrigeration,
truck air brake systems,
diesel engine performance, hydraulics,
welding, diesel electronic
engine controls,
and heavy equipment electronics.
Whether it's on the shop
floor, in our live engine room,
or on the diesel dynos,
most of your training
in these courses will be hands-on,
utilizing diesel training aids from
Cummins, Detroit, Caterpillar, Mack,
Volvo, DuraMax, and many more.
- I love how hands-on the classes are.
I love that the teachers are
always one-on-one with you.
If you have a question, they will get out
of their own way to help you out
because there's only
15, 20 kids in a class.
It makes life so much easier
than spending class with 50 kids.
- [Narrator] All of our
students have the opportunity
to take ASE tests to become ASE certified,
an industry-wide
certification of excellence.
As a benefit to you, the
university will cover the cost
of up to two ASE tests for each student.

not only working locally, but they can go
anywhere in the country and get jobs
through those other dealerships.
