Throughout the pursuit of students's mechanical engineering technician diploma, they will have access to practical, hands-on experience in hydraulics, pneumatics, welding, machining, machine repair, and electronics. Because today's industrial machines are built with a high degree of sophistication, students will learn the mechanical and electrical knowledge to understand them, inside and out. They will also study computer aided design, welding and mechanics theory. Plus, the program mirrors the apprenticeship training program for Industrial Millwrights - so when students graduate with their mechanical engineering technician diploma, they will be prepared to write the exemption tests for the Industrial Millwright trade (as required by the Apprenticeship Client Services of the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities, Workplace Training Branch).
The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to:
- Complete all work in compliance with current legislation, standards, regulations and guidelines
- Apply quality control and quality assurance procedures to meet organizational standards and requirements
- Comply with current health and safety legislation, as well as organizational practices and procedures
- Apply sustainability best practices in workplaces
- Use current and emerging technologies to support the implementation of mechanical engineering projects
- Analyze and solve mechanical problems by applying mathematics and fundamentals of mechanical engineering
- Interpret, prepare and modify mechanical engineering drawings and other related technical documents
- Contribute to the design and the analysis of mechanical components, processes and systems applying fundamentals of mechanical engineering
- Manufacture, assemble, maintain and repair mechanical components according to required specifications
- Verify the specifications of materials, processes and operations to support the design and production of mechanical components
- Develop strategies for ongoing personal and professional development to enhance work performance
