The Mechanical Engineering Technology – Design (Fast Track) program at Centennial College is engineered for individuals seeking to accelerate their careers in mechanical design and development. This advanced diploma program is ideal for those who have already completed a relevant college or university credential, offering direct entry into the second year. You will gain a robust understanding of engineering sciences, focusing on the practical application of advanced computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software, essential for modern product development. This program prepares you to tackle complex design challenges and contribute meaningfully to the field of mechanical engineering technology.
You will study this program full-time on campus over two years (four semesters), engaging in a hands-on learning experience that integrates classroom theory with practical project work simulating real-world assignments. The curriculum emphasizes core mechanical science, proficiency in industry-standard software like Inventor, SolidWorks, and Mastercam, and introduces advanced topics such as Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using ANSYS. You will develop skills in project management, quality assurance, and workplace readiness, culminating in a capstone design project. Graduates are prepared for roles in mechanical design, manufacturing, and product development, with the option to pursue further experience through a co-op placement.
