Overview
The Lambton College Mechanical Design (MPDS), Board of Governors Certificate program equips students with the specialized knowledge and technical skills required by industry to design, analyze, and document mechanical design in piping systems used in industrial, commercial, and manufacturing settings. Through hands-on learning, students develop a strong foundation in engineering drawings, piping systems, and material selection, preparing them for careers in industries such as energy, manufacturing, and construction.Students gain skills in engineering drawings and technical drafting, learning to create and interpret detailed schematics for piping systems. They will develop an understanding of pumps, machines, and fluid movement, allowing them to design efficient piping layouts that meet industry standards. A focus on industrial materials and metallurgy ensures that students can assess material properties and select appropriate components based on factors such as strength, durability, and environmental conditions. The program also emphasizes advanced drafting techniques and 3D modeling, enabling students to produce complex piping layouts and design solutions.Graduates will be well-prepared to contribute to the design and implementation of mechanical design in piping systems in a variety of industrial settings for entry-level roles in mechanical piping design, drafting, and related fields. With a focus on industry-relevant skills and practical applications, this certificate program provides a direct pathway into the workforce or further studies in engineering technology and related disciplines.
