Diesel Technology Internship provides students with supervised, on-the-job experience at an approved training site. This internship allows students to apply and practice the skills and knowledge gained in previous diesel technology coursework in a real-world setting.
The internship is completed during the summer or during the school year at the Neosho School District Bus Barn. Students will assist with maintenance and upkeep of district buses, gaining hands-on experience in inspection, preventive maintenance, repairs, and shop procedures. The internship is supervised by the instructor, who will meet with students one period per week to monitor progress and provide guidance.
This course supports career readiness by reinforcing technical skills, professionalism, safety practices, and workplace responsibility in a diesel maintenance environment.
Students choosing to take the course for college credit must apply to Crowder College and enroll in the course through both Crowder College and the high school. Students are financially responsible for any course fees incurred for taking the course for college credit.
