Power Equipment Technology

Power Equipment Technology

Power Equipment Technology combines the challenge of solving a mechanical problem and making a piece of power equipment perform. In this two-year program, students learn about the basic internal combustion engine theory (both gas and diesel), as well as gain practical experience with heavy equipment operation, preventative maintenance, reconditioning, and troubleshooting. Farm machinery and small engine repair are also covered. PET is designed to provide students with a basic set of mechanical skills. This skill set will allow students to branch out into many different mechanical career fields including: Power Sports, Small Engine/Consumer Products Service, Agricultural/Construction/Truck Repair, Welding/Metal Fabrication, and Heavy Equipment Operation.
