Diesel Power and Emerging Technology

Diesel Power is the Future

The Upstate region of South Carolina is strategically located at the intersection of various roadways, ports, and cities, making it a critical transportation hub for the movement of goods nationally. This has led to an exponential increase in heavy truck traffic, creating further need for more service technicians to maintain and service the fleets. 

SCC's new and innovative Diesel Power & Emerging Technology will be South Carolina's first higher education program designed to train technicians to flexibly service a diverse array of heavy trucks and equipment, including emerging and sustainable technology, through a two-year associate degree program.

Potential Occupations and Median Salary:
• Bus & Truck Diesel Engine Mechanic - $56,000
• Heavy Machinery Maintenance Worker - $52,000
• Field Technicians - $75,000
