Advanced College Diploma - Mechanical Engineering Technology - Design - Fast Track (Optional Co-op) (3735)

Program Description Centennial College's Mechanical Engineering Technology – Design (Fast Track) program allows qualified college or university graduates direct admission into Year 2 (Semester 3) of this three-year advanced diploma engineering program and sees them receive this technology advanced diploma in two years (four semesters).

The Mechanical Engineering Technology – Design (Fast-Track) courses in this college engineering program will combine engineering theory and practice that emphasize the design and development of various mechanical devices and equipment.

Through a hands-on approach, students will obtain thorough grounding in engineering sciences and skills, including advanced computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) as used in the industry. They will spend about one quarter of program time on project work that will simulate workplace assignments while relating classroom theory to the actual design and manufacture process. In addition, one course will introduce students to finite element analysis using ANSYS software.

Students will be able to graduate after two years or continue their studies with a workplace experience through the co-op version of the Mechanical Engineering Technology – Design program. With this option, academically-qualified students can enhance their education by working two terms as paid employees in the field. The experience will not only allow them to put classroom learning into practice but will also provide valuable contacts for future careers.
