The diesel engine is the world’s workhorse because it delivers more
power, efficiency and durability than gasoline-powered engines.
But diesel isn’t just big rigs; it’s hard at work everywhere big power
is needed, from cruise ships and offshore drilling platforms to power
stations, farm equipment, railroads and mining.

Trucking. Almost 90 percent of all
commercial trucks in the U.S. are dieselpowered. Most long-haul trucks today are
diesels, and roughly 1.2 million diesel trucks
were added to our nation’s fleets in the
1990s alone.
Railroads. The railroad industry in the U.S.
operates roughly 20,000 locomotives—and
all of them are diesels.
A graduate of WyoTech’s diesel
technology and applied service management programs, Herman-Calvin
owns and runs Ultimate Diesel Performance, which does basic diesel
repair as well as high-performance
transmissions, twin turbo set-ups,
head studs, custom exhaust and complete teardown and rebuilds.
The 698 horsepower shop truck—a
Dodge Ram 2000—has 1,400 footpounds of torque. Built as a test bed
and demonstration of the shop’s capabilities, the truck is also a rolling
advertisement.
Since opening, Herman-Calvin has
added two employees, an eBay store
and a successful website for his
online parts business. Check it out at
www.ultimatedieselperformance.com.
Ports. Ocean-going container ships are
powered by some of the largest diesel
engines ever made. These vessels transport
the majority of U.S. imports and exports.
Transportation. More than 95 percent of
the nation’s full-sized transit buses are
powered by diesel.
Mining. Mining utilizes nearly $7 billion
worth of diesel-powered equipment,
including drills, trucks and conveyor belts.
Construction. Roughly 850,000 dieselpowered vehicles are in use bringing
supplies, materials and workers to and
from U.S. construction sites.

Trained collision repair technicians are in demand, considering newer
automobiles require more advanced skills. And the demand for skilled
technicians increases every year, as current technicians retire.*
I-CAR, the Industry Conference On Auto Collision Repair, is an
international, not-for-profit organization dedicated to training the
collision industry. WyoTech is a member of the I-CAR Training
Alliance and students may apply for I-CAR credit for many of the
training modules used throughout the Collision Refinishing course.
WyoTech is also an I-CAR Welding Qualification test site and students
have the opportunity to take this hands-on performance test while
attending WyoTech.

WyoTech is more than a school. It’s the experience of a lifetime.
Once you’re on campus, you’ll be immersed in a culture that shares your
passion and interests.
Our instructors come from the industry and love what they do. They’ll
work with you to pass on their knowledge, equipping you for the real
world. Our facilities are full of vehicles, testing equipment and tools
— everything to ensure your success in the workplace.
We also understand that employers hire the person, not just the skills.
So we emphasize your personal and professional development, including
attendance, appearance and attire.
Students come to our campuses from across the country (and even the
globe). You’ll meet new people and form lifelong friendships with others who have similar interests. To make the most of your free time, our
Student Services Departments facilitate outside activities.
“It wasn’t just fictitious and in a
book and repetitive. In Engines
class you take it all the way apart,
and then put it back together, and
then you run it and it’s LOUD.”

At WyoTech, we work hard and we reward hard work. Students
who achieve high marks are honored with special awards. Special
privileges may also be offered to high-achieving students during the
school year. For example, paid peer tutor positions are available at
some campuses.
A student is honored with a perfect
attendance certificate.
Graduation ceremonies are held at every campus for each graduating class. The choice to enroll, attend and complete your training at
WyoTech is a big accomplishment, and your family is encouraged to
attend graduation and cheer you on as you receive your hard-earned
diploma or degree.
Employers prefer to hire students with excellent class attendance
because they know that students who show up for class will show
up for work. To reinforce the importance of strong attendance, we
formally recognize students who achieve excellent attendance.

WyoTech’s reputation is built on the depth of its programs and the professionalism
required of its students. In fact, employers seek out WyoTech graduates because
they’ve been trained to value attendance, on-time arrival and professional dress and
overall appearance—the same values that are desirable in the workplace.
As a prerequisite for admission, each WyoTech applicant must sign and agree to
abide by academic and professionalism standards in our Student Conduct Code.
Students who follow the Code are better able to focus on learning, earn better
grades and are more employable upon graduation.
H o using
Our Housing Staff is available to help students find convenient, affordable and
safe housing. We provide listings of available apartments and help match up
roommates. Each WyoTech campus offers different housing options, so ask your
representative about housing at the campus of your choice. If you have questions,
you can also call the campus you have chosen and ask to speak with the housing or
student services department.

Graduates of WyoTech are eligible to update their training on any part of their
prior program, provided the course of instruction continues to be offered and
space is available. Refresher training is not valid for graded certification purposes
and the student will not receive a transcript of grades or attendance for the
portion repeated.

We’ve maintained high jobplacement rates for years because
we’re part of a nationwide network
of employers who know the quality
of our students. (Of course, no
reputable school can guarantee employment. Placement success
ultimately depends upon each student’s academic performance and
self-motivation.)
Each WyoTech campus has a Career Services department that will work
with you one-on-one to help you make your goals a reality:
Resumé development / Resumé distribution
Job listings / Career fairs
In addition to career assistance during your training, we provide lifelong
career assistance to our graduates. Down the line, when you’re looking
for your next job or planning to relocate, give us a call. We’ll help update
your resumé and provide you with appropriate job listings in your area.

WyoTech is what it takes to get the best start on your career in
transportation maintenance and repair. Here’s what it takes to
get started at WyoTech:
1. Meet with an Admissions Representative.
Call to schedule an interview with your local WyoTech representative.
He or she will come to your home and talk to you and your family about
your career goals and WyoTech’s programs.
2. Enroll.
At the end of the interview, together you’ll decide if WyoTech is a good
match for you—and if it is, your representative will help you complete an
application. WyoTech’s programs are popular and seats fill up months
in advance. Enrolling as soon as possible will help get you a spot in the
courses of your choice.
3. Complete the student financial planning process.
Get started on this immediately after you enroll. You can fill out and
submit forms online, and your personal WyoTech Guide will be available
to help you every step of the way.
4. Make housing and travel arrangements.
Again, it’s best to get started on housing arrangements as soon as you
enroll. Your WyoTech Guide will help you find a convenient, safe and
affordable place to live while you go to school.
5. Start your program.
Pick up your tools and get to work in our modern facilities. In as few
as six months, you can complete your training at WyoTech and start a
career you’ll love.
