The new courses are In­ troduction to Diesel, an overview of the theory and operations of diesel engines, pumps and injunction systems, and Shop Service, an opportunity for students to sharpen the skills they have learned in other automotive classes in a simulated auto shop situation. The returning course, Small Engine Fun­ damentals, covers the operation and repair of two and four cycle engines in­ cluding lawn mowers, marine and snowmobile motors. The diesel course, which- will meet from 6 to 10 p.m. Monday evenings, will be taught by Jerry Grenman, who has 20 years experience working with diesel engines as a trouble-shooter and mechanic. Students in the class will use two running diesel engines as well as a good selection of six and eight cylinder-stationary ^ pumps and four and six cylinder rotary pumps. The class, which prepares students for basic entry level jobs working with diesel engines, requires a prerequisite of a course in the internal combustion engine or equivalent ex­ perience. The shop service class, which will meet from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Fridays, requires a student to have at least one semester of MCC automotive classes or equivalent ex­ perience. Students can work on their own cars or on the cars of other MCC students, staff and faculty members that are brought into the auto shop for repairs on a paying basis. The class is Earth Science Career Facts In Brochure Information on careers in the earth sciences is available in a new brochure produced by the American Association of Petroleum Geologists.
