Centennial College's Mechanical Engineering Technology – Design (Optional Co-op) undergraduate diploma is designed for aspiring engineers seeking to master the intricacies of mechanical device and equipment design. You will delve into core engineering sciences and practical skills, with a strong emphasis on computer-assisted design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM/CAE) technologies widely used in industry. This program equips you to address the complex challenges in mechanical design, preparing you for a dynamic career where innovation and precision are paramount.
This rigorous, full-time, on-campus program is studied over three years, with approximately one-quarter of your time dedicated to project work. These projects simulate real workplace assignments, allowing you to apply classroom theory to the design, manufacture, and testing of mechanical components and systems, including an introduction to finite element analysis using ANSYS software. You will graduate with a comprehensive understanding of applied statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, and machine design, prepared for roles in mechanical design, manufacturing, and quality assurance.
