Approximately 65% of your program hours will be devoted to the study of theory. The balance will be spent on related projects or labs. The objective of the program is to give you a good grounding in theory combined with on-the-job training so you can apply your learning immediately upon graduation.
In Year 1, you will do basic calculations, make simple part drawings, and assist in routine technical tasks.
In Year 2, you will have learned the majority of basic technical skills and will be able to design complex parts and processes, manage teams, and conduct critical analysis.
You are required to submit a technical paper following the work term. The paper is graded and becomes part of the Mechanical Engineering Technology training.
