Engine
City Offers Cutting Edge Technology!
Just off Rt. 287 in South
Plainfield, New Jersey, stands a very
unique structure. What makes it so unique
is that within its walls is one of the
only pure diesel mechanics school in the
country. Engine City Technical Institute
was established in 1969. Engine City, a
one of a kind school, has a curriculum
that focuses on commercial and industrial
diesel. The school trains the students
in the construction, reconstruction and
maintenance of transmissions, engines,
refrigeration units, internal computers,
suspension systems, clutches and ABS brake
systems.
Engine City is
proud of the fact that they are one of
the first schools in the country to offer
an electronic engine course where the
experienced mechanic can upgrade skills
and receive instruction on intricacies
of the cutting edge technology in today's
modern equipment. Classes are equipped
with actual engines that the students
completely disassemble, reassemble, tune
and bring into running status while under
the guidance of professional instructors.
Small classes average
20 or less students with an average over
50 percent actual hands on education brings
each student to the highest levels of
professionalism in their chosen field.
Businesses such as Federal Express,
Ryder Truck, New Jersey Transit and
many commercial airlines seek out graduates
from Engine City knowing that they
will receive some of the finest entry-level
diesel mechanics that the industry has
to offer.
In June of 2000 Engine
City opened its computer lab becoming
one of the first diesel schools in the
country to utilize computer-based training
for its students. Currently, the lab teaches
students the diagnostic software of major
engine manufacturers such as Cummins,
Caterpillar and Detroit Diesel.
Diesel technicians are
in demand for many different applications,
like:
- Heavy construction equipment
- Power generator
- Marine equipment
- Diesel engines
- Trucks
- Industrial equipment
- Agriculture equipment
- Air compressor
- Mining equipment
- Railroad equipment
- Welding equipment
- Transportation equipment

The Kind of Training
Offered
Engine
City Technical Institute offers
highly technical, closely coordinated
classroom and laboratory instruction
programs. The courses are designed
to fill the needs of both the students
and the diesel industry through educating
and training programs that provide
our students with the necessary skills,
knowledge, and sense of responsibility
in their chosen career.
Engine City keeps
on the edge of training technology through
the use of computerized diagnostic equipment
linked directly to the engines. Teaching
with this equipment gives more thorough
instruction while challenging each student
to attain their highest goals.
The
Expected Outcome

launch a career as a technician equipped
with the skills required to diagnose,
disassemble, inspect, repair, assemble,
and completely overhaul popular makes
of truck engines, marine engines, power
trains and/or safe environmentally proper
operation and repair of refrigeration
and air conditioning equipment in current
use.
Furthermore,
the graduate not only qualifies for various
job opportunities as an entry-level mechanic/technician
in the vast diesel industry (truck, construction,
manufacturing, railroad, agriculture,
marine), but is qualified to be gainfully
employed in other industries and fields
where the knowledge and skill attained
relate.
The
various diesel fields are growing!
The company Thermo King
has long worked in partnership with the
school in supplying state of the art
refrigeration units that are regularly
updated.
