The Engineering Design and Drafting Technology Undergraduate Diploma at Saskatchewan Polytechnic equips you with the essential skills to excel in technical design and documentation across various industries. You will explore fundamental drafting principles, advanced 2D and 3D modelling, and the critical aspects of Building Information Modeling (BIM), preparing you for a dynamic career. This program is ideal for aspiring technologists who are detail-oriented, possess strong spatial reasoning abilities, and are eager to contribute to engineering projects from conception through to fabrication. You will gain proficiency in industry-standard software, ensuring you are job-ready upon graduation.
This full-time, on-campus diploma is structured over two years, encompassing five academic semesters and three valuable Co-operative Education work terms. Throughout your studies, you will engage in practical applications, translating engineering concepts into precise technical drawings and models. You will develop expertise in areas such as structural, mechanical, and civil drafting, alongside project management and geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T). Your learning culminates in a capstone project, integrating civil, mechanical, and structural design elements, preparing you for roles in manufacturing, construction, and engineering design firms.
