Diploma in Techniques de génie mécanique at Cégep Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Canada is a diploma in Mechanical Engineering programme. The programme runs for 6 semesters. Teaching is in French. Tuition for international students is CAD 19,610 per year (CAD 3,740 per year for local students).
Techniques de génie mécanique is a technical DEC that trains students to move from conceptual design to a finished mechanical product, developing skills to support engineers in the design and manufacturing of a range of products and mechanisms. The program offers two specializations: design (conception) or manufacturing (fabrication). Cégep Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu's page describes enhanced training in automation and robotics, access to workshops equipped with tools meeting industry standards, and use of a range of current design software. Students have worked on projects such as an all-terrain vehicle, a go-kart, and mountain bikes as part of their studies. The program is offered through an Alternance travail-études (ATE) formula, which lets students work in the field for paid periods while continuing their studies, and the page mentions the possibility of completing a placement in France. It suits students who are curious, creative, and hands-on, interested in understanding how mechanical products and systems are designed and built, and who want practical exposure to both design and manufacturing sides of mechanical engineering technology.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Techniques de génie mécanique (DEC). Préalables exigés: Technico-sciences de la 4e secondaire (TS 4e) ou Sciences naturelles de la 4e secondaire (SN 4e) ou Culture, société et technique de la 5e secondaire (CST 5e); Physique de la 5e secondaire. Si ce préalable est manquant, une admission dans un cheminement de mise à niveau du programme est possible. Pour un DES obtenu avant 2010, se référer au site du SRAM pour les préalables équivalents de l'ancien régime. L'admission se fait par le SRAM.
