Program Overview

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.

Please note: Some courses may be offered in an online/hybrid format.

Program Highlights

In the Mechanical Engineering Technology – Design program, you learn through machine shop operation, tool design and computer numerical control programming.
The program, which offers a 60-40 balance between theory and practice, includes instruction in industry-current computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and computer-aided analysis (CAE) software as AutoCAD, Inventor, SolidWorks, ANSYS and Mastercam.
The project-driven program simulates actual workplace assignments and even gives you practical experience in designing, building and testing an original piece of equipment.
State-of-the-art mechanical engineering lab includes CAD/CAM equipment, thermodynamic fluid power testing modules, and tensile, hardness and impact testers.
