Program Outline

• Approximately 65% of your program hours will be devoted to the study of theory. The balance will be spent on related projects or labs. The objective of the program is to give you a good grounding in theory combined with on-the-job training so you can apply your learning immediately upon graduation.
• In Year 1, you will do basic calculations, make simple part drawings, and assist in routine technical tasks.
• In Year 2, you will have learned the majority of basic technical skills and will be able to design complex parts and processes, manage teams, and conduct critical analysis.
• You are required to submit a technical paper following the work term. The paper is graded and becomes part of the Mechanical Engineering Technology training.
