Mechanical Engineering Technology is a rigorous, hands-on, two-year diploma program designed to equip you with the technical, analytical and problem-solving skills required for a variety of dynamic careers in mechanical engineering. This program offers a foundation in the core principles of engineering, combined with practical application and design. The first year serves as a comprehensive introduction to the field, covering essential subjects such as: fundamental mathematics and science for engineering applications computer-aided design (CAD) to bring designs to life using industry-standard software specialized courses that provide a deeper understanding of mechanical engineering principles. After successfully completing your first year, you'll choose from one of three specialized majors - Design and Analysis, Design and Development, or Design and Automation. While we try to accommodate everyone's specialization preference, selection is based on academic performance in relevant courses, particularly in cases where demand for a specific major exceeds available spots. Design and Analysis major In Design and Analysis, you will: learn to create complex mechanical systems and components study the effects of vibrations on machinery and how to mitigate them explore energy systems and thermodynamics, the principles governing heat, work, temperature and energy understand the behaviour of fluids in motion and at rest and their interaction with solids. This program prepares you for immediate employment and provides a strong foundation for further studies. If your interest lies in designing sophisticated mechanical systems, this program is for you.
