Explanation: Technicians must be increasingly well-versed in electronics and computers. Problems with diesel and gas engines are often so complex that advanced computerized diagnostic systems are required to get to the bottom of them. Engines themselves are also highly computerized – microprocessors often regulate and manage fuel timing and other engine systems. The most dynamic mechanics spend much of their time staying abreast of the latest technological developments in their field.
