Overview

Centennial College’s Mechanical Engineering Technology – Design (Fast Track) program allows the qualified college or university graduates direct admission into Year 2 (Semester 3) of this three-year advanced diploma engineering program and sees them receive this technology advanced diploma in two years (four semesters).

The Mechanical Engineering Technology – Design (Fast-Track) courses in this college engineering program will combine engineering theory and practice emphasizing the design and development of various mechanical devices and equipment.

Through a hands-on approach, you’ll obtain a thorough grounding in engineering sciences and skills, including advanced computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) used in the industry. You’ll spend about one-quarter of program time on project work that will simulate workplace assignments while relating classroom theory to the design and manufacturing process. In addition, one course will introduce you to finite element analysis using ANSYS software.

Co-op Option

The co-op option will allow you to gain hands-on experience while you complete two consecutive co-op work terms as an employee in the field. This experience not only allows you to put classroom learning into practice but will also provide valuable contacts for your future career.

To participate in this co-op option, you must complete an application process in the first semester. If academically qualified, you may be admitted to the co-op program.

When you graduate, your diploma will highlight the co-op credential.
