Program details
Overview
Centennial College's Mechanical Engineering Technology – Design program will offer courses that combine engineering theory and practice, focusing on the design and development of various mechanical devices and equipment. You'll gain a thorough grounding in engineering sciences and skills, including computer-assisted drafting and manufacturing (CAD/CAM/CAE) as used in the industry. About one quarter of the time in this advanced diploma engineering program will be spent on project work. The projects will simulate workplace assignments while relating classroom theory to the actual design, manufacture and testing of projects. In addition, this program will introduce you to finite element analysis using ANSYS software. This program is accredited by Technology Accreditation Canada (TAC) under the Sydney Accord, which ensures mutual recognition of academic programs/qualifications in the countries or territories covered by the accord. Please note: Some courses may be offered in an online/hybrid format.
