in the spring when DS260 Hydraulic Systems is scheduled, Thursday and Friday the lab and classroom are also in use. This is an important transition for the second year students. It separates them from the less experienced first year learners, yet provides an opportunity for each to obtain a job working in the diesel industry as an entry level technician. This is an important transition because of what is learned while on-the-job, and these are paid positions which generally transition to the DS280 Cooperative Work Experience. It must be noted that our classes are offered only once per academic year – rarely do we offer an XXX-55 independent study section because the additional class puts an extraordinary load on the instructor.
