Mechanical Engineering Technology – Industrial (Fast Track) 3747

Qualified mechanical engineering college or university graduates (or those with at least one successful year) gain direct admission into year two (semester three) of this three-year program and receive their technology diploma in two years (four semesters).

This program combines courses in engineering theory and practice, focusing on the design and development of various mechanical devices and equipment. You will obtain a thorough grounding in engineering sciences and skills, including intermediate to advanced computer-assisted design and manufacturing, as used in the industry.
About one-quarter of the program is spent on project work. Projects simulate workplace assignments, relating classroom theory to the actual design, manufacture and testing of mechanical systems.

Program Highlights

• Gain experience in machine shop operation, tool design, plus computer numerical control programming

• Industry-current software instruction in AutoCAD, Inventor and Mastercam is included
• State-of-the-art CAD/ CAM equipment is used
• Approximately 60-40 balance between theory and practice
• The project-driven program gives you practical experience in designing, building and testing an original piece of equipment.
• The project approach simulates actual workplace assignments
• The program uses a state-of-the-art mechanical engineering lab that includes Thermodynamic Fluid Power testing modules, and Tensile, Hardness and Impact Testers

Career Outlook

Graduates are prepared to work in manufacturing/mechanical related areas such as: 

• Plan facility technologists
• Assistants to professional engineers
• CAD operators
• Mechanical testers

CTAB NATIONALLY ACCREDITED PROGRAM

The Mechanical Engineering Technology- Industrial program has met the national technology accreditation requirements established by the Canadian Council of Technicians and Technologists (CCTT) and, as such, has received national accreditation status by the Canadian Technology Accreditation Board (CTAB).
