Humber’s Mechanical Engineering Technician diploma program helps you gain a thorough knowledge of materials and mechanical solutions for designing and manufacturing mechanical parts and assemblies. You will learn in Humber’s state-of-the-art labs, offering you the practical experience you need to succeed. Courses focus on: – engineering drawings/calculations – mechanical operations – programming of computer numerical control (CNC) machine tools using computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software – Mastercam – applying design principles and practices – design and manufacturing process problems – learn 2D computer-aided design (CAD) software – AutoCAD, 3D CAD software – SolidWorks. The curriculum includes courses in solids mechanics, mechanical design, hydraulics, pneumatics, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), manufacturing and management. You will be able to develop the manufacturing procedures to produce mechanical components. The Mechanical Engineering Technician diploma provides a springboard to further study at Humber or other postsecondary institutions, while meeting provincial and national accreditation requirements.

Begin a career designing and manufacturing with a Mechanical Engineering Technician diploma from Humber. According to the Canadian government’s Working in Canada website, the outlook for jobs in this field is positive. “Due to a concentration of employers such as power plants, large automotive manufacturers and other transportation and goods manufacturers, openings for mechanical engineers should remain steady,” says the report. “Job openings in this field should arise from the creation of new power facilities and production increases in the transportation equipment manufacturing, including aircraft.” Graduates find employment in areas related to mechanical design, production, testing, consulting and service industries, as well as in machine tool sales and service departments. Demand is growing for graduates in fields related to the sustainable economy and in consulting engineering, particularly for companies engaged in infrastructure projects.
