Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technology - Mechanical Design

British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT)

The Mechanical Engineering Technology provides exciting and challenging work opportunities in the rapidly evolving Green Economy. The global restructuring of economies toward more environmentally friendly and sustainable energy and manufacturing processes will depend on the knowledge and skills of those working in Mechanical Engineering Technology. The Mechanical Engineering Technology (Mechanical Design Option) program provides you with the theory and skills you need to work as a qualified engineering technologist. It prepares you for the jobs of the future by teaching you about machinery design, energy productions, thermal and fluid systems, hydraulics, pneumatics, material science, instrumentation and controls, computer-aided design (CAD), and computer-aided engineering (CAE). Opportunities are available in research and development, energy productions, mechanical equipment design, testing, prototyping, quality control, production, manufacturing, project management, and technical sales. You could be working in the automotive, mining, forestry, oil and gas, aerospace, energy production, chemical, computer, environmental, or manufacturing industry. You might work in a structured environment doing maintenance or research, or in a fast-paced company where you solve different technical problems every day.
