College Diploma - Engineering Technology - First Year to Mechanical Engineering Technology (Transfer to Ridge Road Campus)

Engineering Technology:

The college offers a common first year in Engineering Technology. This allows students to complete the first two semesters of the engineering technology program that they have been accepted to. After completing the first two semesters, students must enter the campus which offers the program of their choice to complete the seven week Intersession (May, June), and the subsequent years of their program.

Mechanical Engineering Technology:

Mechanical Engineering Technologists develop a diverse technical background, good "hands-on" skills, and excellent people skills. Students will be engaging in emerging trends and the latest innovations in new technologies, building design and building operations. Students will be immersed in Mechatronics, Technical Modeling, Building Operations, Mechanical Building Systems and Machine Design.

Upon successful completion of the Mechanical Engineering Technology program, graduates will have the knowledge and skill that will allow them to:

•  Apply fundamental principles for machine design and operation.
• Create mechanical working drawings and computer based models of mechanical systems using AutoCAD and related engineering analysis software including REVIT.
• Assist in the design, installation, implementation, operation, maintenance, and management of power generation systems, Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, and general mechanical support systems which are required for petroleum production systems, petroleum refineries, processing plants, office buildings and residences.
• Design and create components using vacuum forming, 3D printing, injection molding and laser cutting processes.
• Program and perform maintenance on robotics for automation applications.

Note: Students will spend their first two semesters at Gander campus before transferring to Ridge Road campus to complete the rest of their degree.
