Applicants who do not meet the admission requirements will be invited to complete pre-admission tests in mathematics and English. Applicants asked to take the test are considered for admission to Term 1 contingent on receiving a minimum grade of 60% in both the pre-admission mathematics/English tests.
Applicants may also consider applying to our Technology Fundamentals program. Successful completion of this program will meet the Mathematics requirement and will provide a broader sense of the Science and Technology fields.
Applicant Selection
Eligible applicants will be selected on the basis of their previous academic achievement (the average of their six highest senior-level credits, including required courses), and/or results of pre-admission testing.
Applicants who do not meet the admission requirements for this program will be assessed and advised individually and may be considered for other, related programs.
Sheridan’s three-year advanced diploma prepares you for mechanical engineering work and provides pathways to higher education.
Specialize your mechanical engineering knowledge
After building a strong foundation of mechanical engineering knowledge in your first two years, you’ll be exposed to more specialized subjects in your final two semesters. An understanding of niche concepts such as mechanical design, machine kinematics and dynamics, programmable controllers, fluid mechanics and energy systems may lead to better career opportunities when you graduate.
Gain real-world experience and build connections
Sheridan's labs simulate the workplace, but there's no substitute for real-world experience. Put your new mechanical engineering skills to work for our industry partners in two paid co-op terms: one after your third semester and another in your third year of studies. You'll also work with peers on capstone research and applied research projects that help our partners resolve real-world issues.
Earn credits towards your degree and other certification
Want to take your education to the next level? As a graduate of this program, you may be able to transfer into the third year of Sheridan's Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering degree (some bridge courses will be required). You'll also have completed all the academic requirements for personal certification with the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT).
Explore your future campus
As a student in our Mechanical Engineering Technician program, you’ll work in labs designed to imitate the workplace. Want a look inside? Take a virtual tour of our Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Design.
Learning Outcomes
The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to:
Monitor compliance with current legislation, standards, regulations and guidelines.
Plan, co-ordinate, implement and evaluate quality control and quality assurance procedures to meet organizational standards and requirements.
Monitor and encourage compliance with current health and safety legislation, as well as organizational practices and procedures.
Develop and apply sustainability best practices in workplaces.
Use current and emerging technologies to implement mechanical engineering projects.
Analyze and solve complex mechanical problems by applying mathematics and fundamentals of mechanical engineering.
Prepare, analyze, evaluate and modify mechanical engineering drawings and other related technical documents.
Design and analyze mechanical components, processes and systems by applying fundamentals of mechanical engineering.
Design, manufacture and maintain mechanical components according to required specifications.
Establish and verify the specifications of materials, processes and operations for the design and production of mechanical components.
Plan, implement and evaluate projects by applying project management principles.
Develop strategies for ongoing personal and professional development to enhance work performance.
Apply business principles to design and engineering practices.
