Diesel and Heavy Equipment Technology SouthWestern Association Industrial and Farm Equipment - Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology

Diesel and Heavy Equipment Technology SouthWestern Association Industrial and Farm Equipment from Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology is a Campus Associate Automotive degree that prepares you for a Engineering career. Founded in 1889, the South Western Association was established by a progressive group of independent hardware and farm implement/mercantile dealers to help increase their profitability and solve common problems. While the Association?s scope of interest has evolved over time, the basic concept of working together for the common good remains the same. Ask any group of farm and industrial equipment dealers about the biggest challenges they face, and the lack of qualified service technicians is a frequent answer. Each year, as equipment becomes more technologically advanced, the need for skilled technicians grows. South Western Association is addressing this problem with the new Industrial and Farm Equipment Technician Program at OSU Institute of Technology . An important feature of the program is that each semester a student alternates seven and one-half weeks on campus and seven and one-half weeks at the sponsoring SWA distributor. The intensive method of study and practice prepares a high performance technician that the participating SWA distributors demand. After six semesters of on-campus classes and five paid internships, graduates typically stay with the SWA distributor as a full time employee. Technicians maintain service, diagnose and repair machines and equipment used in all forms of agricultural and industrial activities. A student can expect nearly 100% job placement rate, low faculty/student ratio and paid internships. View more details on Oklahoma State University Institute of Technology .
