About College Diploma - Mechanical Engineering Technology

With emphasis on engineering fundamentals combined with high-tech equipment and analysis techniques, the Mechanical Engineering Technology program will provide students with the flexibility and portability of skills required to become a mechanical engineering technologist and find work in industries such as oil and gas, agriculture and pulp and paper.

Hands-on, industry-relevant skills

Design concepts, process planning and analysis techniques will be studied and students will receive sound supporting theory from courses such as Dynamics, Design of Machine Elements, Drafting and CAD, and Plant Engineering.

Some of the skills graduates will acquire include:

  • design of mechanical components, assemblies and systems
  • specifications for machining operations/production methods and tooling for the manufacture of metal parts
  • cost estimating for fabrication, pressure vessels, construction, manufacturing, piping systems and projects
  • selection and evaluation of machinery
  • layout design for office, warehouse and plant
  • production activity evaluation
  • methods analysis techniques using quality-management and quality-control tools

International Bachelor of Technology (BTech) Pathway

International students looking to study in Canada can take advantage of a 4-year degree pathway that allows them to earn a technology diploma and a Bachelor of Technology in Management (BTech) degree from NAIT. This pathway also makes them eligible to apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), enabling them to stay in Canada and work after graduation. Students will start with an in-demand technology diploma before continuing into the BTech degree program.

Bachelor of Technology

The BTech program builds upon students' technology diplomas, helping them develop skills in leadership, problem solving, business strategy, and risk management. The combination of their technology diploma and BTech degree will open up more employment and career opportunities in various industries and roles, such as project management, operations management, and sustainability management.
