Amazing stories from diesel power technology majors
UAA鈥檚 Diesel Power Technology program gave me opportunities to get hands-on experience and learn why and how all the systems work. While enrolled with the program I was provided with an opportunity to participate in a summer internship working on the slope for Schlumberger. This has since led to full-time employment within this company doing exactly what I went to school for. The instructors at UAA are always available to answer questions and assist students. I enjoyed my time as a student within the program.
