The Mechanical Engineering Technician – Design undergraduate diploma at Centennial College is designed for aspiring professionals eager to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical application in the design and manufacturing sectors. You will explore the fundamental principles of mechanical engineering, focusing on how machines function and how to translate concepts into tangible designs. This program equips you with essential skills in computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), preparing you to tackle design challenges and contribute to product development in a hands-on, project-driven environment.
This full-time, on-campus program is structured over two years, immersing you in a curriculum that balances core engineering subjects like properties of materials, machine shop practices, and manufacturing processes with crucial communication and general education electives. You will engage in a project-based learning approach, collaborating in teams to plan, design, and build solutions, culminating in a significant design and construction project in your final semester. Graduates will be well-prepared for roles in mechanical design, drafting, and manufacturing support, with opportunities to further specialize or enter the workforce.
