Overview
Students will gain broad-based mechanical engineering technology skills to prepare for career opportunities in today’s increasingly complex and sophisticated industry. Studies emphasize mechanical design using standard procedures, computer graphics and computer-based analysis. Students also study manufacturing processes and materials to understand the integration between design and manufacturing. Effective technical communications through verbal, written, graphic and computer skills are also stressed.
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.
Applying to the Co-op Stream
The optional co-op stream includes three co-op work terms.
Co-operative Education integrates academic studies with program-related experience in the workplace. This results in better-trained workers who are familiar with their professional expectations and have the skills needed to contribute to an organization right from the start.
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 will be informed of the application deadline and process to apply for the Co-op Stream. Labour market conditions determine the number of co-op seats in optional co-op programs. Every student who meets academic eligibility requirements may not be admitted to the co-op stream.
To be considered for admission to the co-op stream, students are required to achieve a minimum 65% in Level 1 with a maximum of one dropped or failed courses and must pass MECH1050.
Career opportunities
Graduates are prepared for employment in mechanical design, research and development, CAD operations, equipment installation and testing, technical sales and production-related areas.
