Diesel Technology Degrees

Why SUNY Morrisville Diesel Technology?

Our diesel technology degree programs offer the opportunity to work hands-on with advanced machines used in the field today, including small power equipment, hydraulic diesel equipment, farm machinery and heavy equipment, welding facilities and diesel fuel systems. 

The diesel equipment technology Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree trains you to start your career as a technician and move into management, while also preparing you to continue your studies in a bachelor’s degree program.

The diesel technology Associate in Occupational Studies (A.O.S.) degree prepares you to master the fields of agriculture, industrial and vehicular mechanics and be job-ready upon graduation.

Coursework for both programs includes electronics, hydraulics, powertrains and fuel systems, with the A.A.S. program also incorporating liberal arts and sciences courses and the A.O.S. program offering a variety of electives. 

Students can further enhance their experience through the Agricultural Engineering Club, which presents annual events including the antique tractor and machinery show during Mustang Weekend and an annual spring field trip.
