  • The integration of simulation-based technology into this program is helping to generate new interest in the program and the careers in diesel tech, more broadly.
  • Diesel by Distance will now feature hands-on virtual reality simulations that recreate the working environment of a diesel technician or mechanic.
  • Because many employers require these technicians to be certified, the program helps to expand career opportunities for workers interested in pursuing diesel technology careers.
