Through applied and theoretical approaches, you will learn engineering technology fundamentals and industry-focused topics such as automation, control, computer-integrated manufacturing and reliability. The Mechanical Engineering Technology Diploma integrates applied and theoretical engineering approaches in preparation for careers in high-demand industry sectors that involve engineering design, physical systems planning and simulation, technology-driven manufacturing, fabrication sequencing, computer and robotic automation, component testing, and systems reliability. <br><br>Graduates will apply high-level problem-solving skills to envision, design, develop, build, evaluate, modify, and optimize products and processes associated with mechanical machines, systems, and processes. Career-focused continuous learning and technology adaptation are foundational behaviors. <br><br>Students will engage in both hands-on and theoretical approaches in applying foundational mechanical engineering principles that involve engineering mathematics, solid mechanics, thermal-fluid sciences and kinematics. The program also builds soft skills involving teams, project management, and effective oral and written communications. <br><br>The Mechanical Engineering Technology diploma program is accredited by Technology Accreditation Canada (TAC), recognized across Canada by Engineering Technologist professional organizations such as the Association of Science & Engineering Professionals of Alberta (ASET). Career experience will lead graduates to becoming Certified Engineering Technologists (CET) and, with additional specialized experience, Professional Technologist (PTech).
