Electro-Motive Diesel (EMD) Courses

ESI and EMD offer two diesel engine courses covering all major components and a variety of engine systems. These courses are conducted by factory trained, field experienced personnel from ESI's service, parts and engineering departments.

Training aids include an EMD engine with component parts workstations targeted for a hands-on learning environment. Interactive training provides the opportunity to gain knowledge from ESI's staff as well as the other attendees. The courses provide attendees with the up-to-date knowledge and skills that are necessary for the proper operation of the General Motors EMD diesel engine.

Course Objectives

The primary objective of the courses is to introduce to technical, service, and maintenance personnel the operational, maintenance and troubleshooting history of the EMD engine in a controlled learning environment.

After completing the Technical and Practical Engine Courses, the student will have the necessary technical data to maintain and operate the EMD engine in a most cost-effective manner. Routine maintenance techniques are stressed throughout the courses.

The Course is designed to provide Graduates with:

  • An understanding of the functions, design and maintenance required of typical engine systems.
  • The ability to make basic adjustments on the EMD engine.
  • The ability to remove and install major engine components properly.
  • The capability to evaluate engine condition on the basis of an air box inspection.
