Program details
Overview
Techniques de génie mécanique is a three-year, full-time technical DEC at the main Salaberry-de-Valleyfield campus, with fall and winter intakes. The page describes mechanical technicians as developing new products and the machinery that manufactures them, using computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAO/FAO) tools, keeping production equipment running, and working with pneumatic and hydraulic systems or industrial robots. The program is built around three main streams — design, manufacturing, and mechanical maintenance — intended to give graduates versatility across conception, production, and upkeep roles. Course content named on the page includes mechanical drafting and design, production planning and management, industrial maintenance mechanics, and programming of industrial and CNC machinery. Structural features include an optional alternance travail-études (paid work-study) formula, close collaboration with regional manufacturers including industrial visits, and participation in the provincial and national skills competitions known as the Olympiades québécoises and Olympiades canadiennes de la formation professionnelle et technique. The page also states the program distributes more than six thousand dollars annually in merit, perseverance, and involvement scholarships from the college and local businesses. It suits students interested in mechanical design, manufacturing, or industrial maintenance work.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Le programme Techniques de génie mécanique exige un diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) plus les préalables Physique de 5e secondaire et Mathématiques TS 4e / SN 4e ou CST 5e (ou Mathématiques 526), selon la page du programme, qui ajoute qu'un préalable supplémentaire peut être exigé au cas par cas. Ces préalables s'ajoutent à la base académique générale du Cégep (DES, ou DEP avec réussite du français, de l'anglais de secondaire 5 et des mathématiques de secondaire 4, ou équivalence). Aucun score de test de langue anglaise ou française n'est publié pour ce programme francophone, et la page ne mentionne ni entrevue ni portfolio. L'admission se fait aux sessions d'automne et d'hiver, via SRAM.
Application Details
Start Date:Automne et hiver
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRAM: the college's most recently published Fall cycle (Fall 2026) opened 13 January 2026 with a first-round deadline of 1 March 2026, 23:59, and the same 1 March pattern is expected to recur for Fall 2027; Winter 2027 entry opens mid-September 2026 with a first-round deadline of 1 November 2026, 23:59. Valleyfield publishes no fixed international application dates: for the 2026-2027 and 2027-2028 cycles it accepts only international applicants already living in Quebec who completed part of their secondary or vocational studies there, so the general SRAM international calendar does not apply. Admission for domestic applicants is not rolling beyond SRAM's rounds. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
