      "markdown": "In addition to the general education requirements, the associate degree in medium/heavy truck technology is designed to successfully prepare students to enter the diesel-electric medium and heavy-duty transportation industry as an apprentice or helper technician or provide supplementary knowledge for equipment operators and truck drivers. The program provides lecture and lab activities related to heavy-duty vehicle engines, power-train units, steering and suspension components, brakes, electrical, air conditioning, and preventative maintenance inspections. Those working in the industry will be able to improve their competencies in each subject area.\n\n**Learning Outcome(s):**\n\n1.  Recognize safety procedures when working with diesel-electric vehicles.\n2.  Identify medium/heavy-duty vehiclesystems and operations.\n3.  Demonstrate effective procedures for inspecting, servicing, troubleshooting and repairing medium/heavy-duty vehicles."
