MARSHALL, Texas (KTAL/KMSS) — Texas State Technical College (TSTC) Marshall campus is expanding the Diesel Equipment Technology program.

A new expansion will allow students to get hands-on experience in a way previously unavailable.

This comes in the way of a 21,720 square foot, $14.5 million building.

Program team lead for Diesel Equipment Technology and Welding Technology, Bradley Hayes, is excited. “Our old model had a lot of theory and trainers, but only a limited amount of real equipment,” Hayes said. “Going from the theory to a trainer and then to the live equipment is going to give the student the most realistic experience in what their career is going to be like.”

Campus provost Bart Day expects the new facility, and a $2.6 million investment in new equipment, to allow TSTC to graduate more prepared students. “The expanded footprint and $2.6 million investment in new equipment will greatly enhance the skills our students gain while they’re with us, and in turn provide employers with a technician with an even stronger capability to add to their bottom line.”
