About the Program
This diploma program provides students with a broad exposure to the mechanical engineering technology field. Emphasis is on the modern industrial production environment, which calls for knowledge of standard manufacturing procedures, computer-aided manufacturing and industrial robotics.
Students learn the role of computer integration in linking the manufacturing and design functions. The emphasis throughout is on effective problem-solving and students have the opportunity to apply skills in both individual and team projects. Effective communication, a must in modern industry, is also stressed.
There is also an emphasis on combining standard manufacturing processes with computer-aided manufacturing and utilization of industrial automation equipment in production environment. The optional co-op stream includes three co-op work terms.
The Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT) conditionally recognizes this program as meeting all the academic requirements for certification in the Certified Engineering Technologist (CET) category.
Program Outcomes
Apply manual (NC), CNC, and computer-aided manufacturing techniques in planning and controlling manufacturing systems.
Apply the principles of physics and mathematics to analyze, design and solve mechanical engineering problems.
Communicate technical information effectively, at appropriate levels through the use of written and oral language, graphics and computers.
Apply a knowledge of manufacturing processes and materials to component assembly, product conformity, production planning and the design of production tooling.
Employ current industrial automation systems to minimize production costs and improve quality.
Effectively contribute to the design of integrated cells, flexible manufacturing systems and production plants.
Select appropriate operations management and industrial engineering cost reduction techniques to a manufacturing environment.
Complete and present a comprehensive report documenting the design, manufacturing and engineering of a product from the planning stage to production.
Apply safety concepts that comply with safety regulations applicable to the manufacturing environment.
Acquire an increased appreciation and understanding of the concepts and values required to enhance the quality of life for self and others in the home, workplace and the local and global community through an exploration of selected broad goals of education in the areas of aesthetics, civic life, culture, personal development, society, work and the economy, science and technology.
Co-op Information
Co-op programs add value to your education. Earn while you apply what you learn in a real workplace environment. See the Co-op webpages.
The College cannot guarantee co-op employment. All co-op students are required to conduct an independent co-op job search in addition to the supports and services provided by the Department of Co-op Education.
Students are responsible for their own transportation and associated costs in order to complete work term requirements. Work locations may not always be readily accessible by public transportation.
