Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technology

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.

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.

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.

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).
