Description |
|
This program combines courses in engineering theory and practice. It focuses on the design and development of various mechanical devices and equipment. You will obtain a thorough grounding in engineering sciences and skills, including computer-assisted drafting and manufacturing (CAD/CAM), as used in industry.
About one-quarter of the program time is spent on project work. Projects simulate workplace assignments, relating classroom theory to the actual design, manufacture and testing of projects.
Academically-qualified students can enhance their education by working three terms as paid employees in the field. This experience not only allows you to put classroom learning into practice, but also provides valuable contacts for future careers.
