Program details
Overview
Techniques de genie mecanique is a three-year technical DEC that trains specialists able to design, manufacture and maintain mechanical systems, drawing on physics, motion analysis and automated systems. Students learn computer-aided design and drafting, metrology, mechanical design, hydraulics and pneumatics, tooling design, and robot programming. Partway through the program, students choose a specialization: Conception, focused on computer-aided design and assembly using software such as CATIA and SolidWorks with related calculation concepts, or Fabrication, focused on analyzing manufacturing processes and using computer-aided manufacturing software to generate programs for CNC machine tools; students can also complete both specializations by extending their studies to four years. An alternance travail-etudes option lets most students complete paid work placements of eight to thirteen weeks, including opportunities in France through partnership agreements. A DEP-DEC bridge lets holders of a vocational diploma in machining complete the program on an accelerated five-session track, and graduates can continue toward a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering at university. The program suits students drawn to building, testing and improving physical mechanisms and machinery.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: This program may receive more applications than it has seats; when that happens, selection is based on school-record quality. Prerequisites: Mathematics - TS or SN from 4th secondary, or CST from 5th secondary (or Mathematics 436); and Physics from 5th secondary (or Physique 534).
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic and international applicants to Cégep de Saint-Laurent apply through the shared SRAM portal (admission.sram.qc.ca) serving Montréal-region cégeps. For Winter 2027, applications opened 15 September 2026, Round 1 closes 1 November 2026 and Round 2 closes 25 November 2026, with unfilled seats carried forward. SRAM has not yet posted Fall 2027 domestic dates. Internationally, SRAM's Fall 2027 window runs 15 March 2026 to 14 March 2027; its next window (Winter 2028) runs 1 June 2026 to 31 May 2027. Admission is rolling by round, not a single fixed date. Cégep de Saint-Laurent's own website (cegepsl.qc.ca) was unreachable (repeated connection timeouts) this session; the dates above come directly from SRAM. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
