The two-year curriculum has seven tracks leading to a Certificate of Achievement and two tracks leading to an Associate in Science degree. In addition, the diesel program offers Certificates of Performance in nine specialty areas. These certificates can be applied toward the Certificate of Achievement or the Associate in Science degree.\n\n**Award Notes:**\nA Certificate of Performance is a departmental award that does not appear on the student’s transcript. All courses must be completed within the San Diego Community College District.\nThis program is not eligible for federal financial aid in accordance with Federal regulations.\n\n**Learning Outcome(s): Students who complete the Heavy Equipment Powertrains Program will be able to:**\n\n1.  Perform the manipulative and critical thinking skills when performing service work on heavy-duty vehicles, systems, and components using a variety of tools, equipment and instruments.\n2.  Perform service procedures safely and implement workplace health and safety compliance using regulations published by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the Environmental Protection Agency.\n3.  Perform research, locate, and use heavy-duty service information, special instructions, and specifications with printed or web-based resources."
