Engine City Technical Institute is an accredited, diesel technology school located in South Plainfield, New Jersey, a short distance off of Interstate 287. It is currently the only such school in the Northeastern United States, and, as such, its graduates are in high demand amongst the area's industrial centers.
Engine City was founded in Union , New Jersey, in 1969 as a training center to accommodate the need for diesel mechanics in New Jersey and the surrounding areas.
