Program Description
Technician Design Program
Centennial College’s two-year Mechanical Engineering Technician – Design program will combine strong conceptual thinking with a practical knowledge of machines and how they work. You’ll learn engineering theory and develop computer-assisted drafting and computer-assisted manufacturing (CAD/CAM) skills.
The courses in this engineering diploma program will employ a project-based approach to learning. This will include working in small groups on specific projects, learning how to plan, schedule, create, design and build as a team.
You’ll have the choice of continuing into a third-year Technology option and specializing in modern manufacturing and production processes.
Technology Design Program
Centennial College’s Mechanical Engineering Technology – Design program will offer courses that combine engineering theory and practice, focusing on the design and development of various mechanical devices and equipment. You’ll gain a thorough grounding in engineering sciences and skills, including computer-assisted drafting and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) as used in the industry.
About one quarter of the time in this advanced diploma engineering program will be spent on project work. The projects will simulate workplace assignments while relating classroom theory to the actual design, manufacture and testing of projects.
In addition, this program will introduce you to finite element analysis using ANSYS software.
Technology Industrial Program
Centennial College’s Mechanical Engineering Technology – Industrial program will cover engineering theory and practice in manufacturing and producing mechanical equipment and products.
The focus of this advanced diploma engineering program will be on ensuring you gain basic engineering and science skills, while including more specialized subjects relating to modern manufacturing and production processes. The Mechanical Engineering Technology – Industrial program’s courses will also include computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) through AutoCAD, Inventor, SolidWorks and Simul8, which are widely used in the industry.
Two-semester individual projects will allow for practical experience in designing, building and testing an original piece of equipment. The project approach used in the offering will simulate actual workplace assignments.
Fast Track Programs
Centennial College’s Fast Track programs allows qualified college or university graduates direct admission into Year 2 (Semester 3) of the two-year diploma engineering program or the three-year advanced diploma engineering program. Students in a Fast Track Technician program can achieve their two-year diploma in one year (2 semesters), and students in a Fast Track Technology program can achieve their three-year advanced diploma in two years (4 semesters).
