Mechanical Engineering Technology Ontario College Advanced Diploma
ObjectivesGraduates of this program are able to: create, modify, and improve engineering designs using conventional and computer based methods; perform engineering tests that support product development; use Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) software/systems to conduct engineering design and analysis; design and troubleshoot automated control systems and analyze problems involving machine design, fluid dynamics and tool design. In the third year of this program students are provided with the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge and problem-solving skills in a simulated industrial setting in the Integrated Manufacturing Centre (IMC), Durham College's world class training facility, unique to post-secondary training in Canada.
Practical experienceA work placement program in third year allows students to work one day per week for a company while completing their studies at Durham College.
