Engineering Design Technology is a two-year diploma program at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, delivered on campus in Edmonton, that provides the theoretical and practical training needed to work as an engineering design technologist. Students learn to create engineering drawings and 3D models using both traditional methods and the latest computer-aided design and drafting software, including AutoCAD and MicroStation. The program develops strong physics and mathematics skills alongside technical drafting, preparing graduates to bridge the gap between concept and practical implementation on construction, infrastructure, and manufacturing projects. Engineering design technologists trained through the program go on to work in industries such as engineering consulting, construction, fabrication, and manufacturing. It suits students who want a drafting- and design-focused technologist credential rather than a hands-on trades or installation-focused electrical or mechanical program.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Entry requires Grade 12 Language Arts (English 30-2), Grade 12 Mathematics (Math 30-2), and Grade 11 Physics (Physics 20) or Grade 12 Science (Science 30), plus NAIT's institution-wide English Language Proficiency requirement. Applicants may also qualify through the Post-Secondary Credits Pathway (24 transfer credits or 8 courses in a related field with a 2.0 admission GPA) or through a Canadian Journeyperson Certificate in an approved trade such as electrician, welder, or steamfitter-pipefitter, though the trades pathway does not exempt applicants from meeting the minimum and competitive entrance requirements.
