Humber’s Mechanical Engineering Technology advanced diploma program prepares you for a career in the design and manufacturing of mechanical components and applications. The curriculum covers the theory and the skills required to: – program computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools using computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software – Mastercam – apply design principles and practices – design and manufacture process problems – learn 2D computer-aided design (CAD) software – AutoCAD, 3D CAD software – SolidWorks – design and manufacture mechanical parts and assemblies – apply design principles and practices to a variety of engineering problems and environments. Our program builds upon the solid technical foundation of the technician program, enabling graduates to have greater success in their careers. The skills first learned in the technician program are enhanced through project-based learning and increased hands-on practice in the labs.

Begin a career designing and manufacturing with a Mechanical Engineering Technology advanced diploma from Humber. Mechanical Engineering Technology graduates are able to perform engineering design and equipment/technology selection for major components in the design of mechanical systems; liaise with fabrication and engineering staff, as well as with vendors, for technical information and specifications; prepare preliminary and final cost estimates; and prepare and evaluate production processes, costing, tool design and inspection requirements. Graduates work in two main areas: – drafting and design, equipment testing, mechanical equipment installation and consulting engineering offices – the metal cutting industries, programming, cost estimating, quality control and inspection, and in machinery sales. Professional Accreditation, Endorsement and Recognition The Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT) recognizes the Mechanical Engineering Technology program as meeting the academic requirements for certification in the technologist category. Graduates must apply to OACETT to become a registered member. After the application is received OACETT will begin the process of awarding the Certified Engineering Technologist (CET) status. Work Placement Humber’s Mechanical Engineering Technology program features an optional, preferably paid work experience directly related to your program of study. The work experience is designed to enable you to apply your skills and knowledge in an actual work environment, as well as enhance your employability upon graduation. The work experience occurs after the completion of semester four, for a minimum of 400 hours. Participating students are required to complete work preparation sessions prior to the work term to help them develop an industry-specific resumé and effective interviewing skills. Humber provides a range of services to support student success including working with business, industry and government to identify employment opportunities.
