Centennial College's Mechanical Engineering Technology – Design program offers courses that combine engineering theory and practice, focusing on the design and development of various mechanical devices and equipment.

A blend of human factors engineering and mechanical engineering, students in this certificate program will learn the fundamentals of design in both fields and apply them to the design of assistive devices to address real-world problems.

Centennial College'snbsp;Mechanical Engineering Technology ndash; Design program offers courses that combine engineering theory and practice, focusing on the design and development of various mechanical devices and equipment. You gain a thorough grounding in engineering sciences and skills, including computer-assisted drafting and manufacturing (CAD/CAM)nbsp;as used in the industry.

This specialization, unique in France, aims to provide industrial and commercial organizations with project managers in charge of the design process at the operational and strategic levels.

With a firm focus on developing practical skills in design and manufacture, this course provides you with the ideal opportunity to get hands-on in your chosen field. You will use a wide range of tools, techniques, equipment and software in addition to laboratory equipment. What’s more, you’ll develop professional aptitudes that enhance your employability upon graduation.

Computer-Aided Drafting and Design (CAD or CADD) technicians use special computer software programs to create drawings and sketches. They may draw objects ranging from simple parts to complex building designs or even small electronics components.

Engineering technology with a Drafting & Design Specialization focuses on mechanical design, material application, and properties. Experiences in manufacturing processes such as injection moulding and small lot casting operations are supported by instruction in AutoCad, Unigraphics CAD, including virtual tools such as finite element analysis (FEA), surface and assembly modelling.

Within Design Engineering, you will work with principles and concepts that will develop your skills as a budding engineer to progress to Higher Education or industry, ensuring that your learning direction supports progression beyond A-Level.

The Plastics Engineering Technology option in the Advanced Manufacturing Associate of Applied Science program provides training in the plastics industry, including theory and hands-on applications. Students are given practical instruction applicable to materials, processing, and design engineering.

If you are interested, or already working, in the area of Engineering and are looking to gain a professional qualification or progressing to university or Higher Education then this is the course for you. The course is delivered through units where you will study through different methods, including practical tasks, activities and exercises. What will I do on the course? The course is delivered through a range of units where the emphasis is upon a practical approach to learning covering; both generic engineering principles as well as specific mechanical, electrical, electronic and managerial subjects.

Drafters prepare detailed drawings based on rough sketch specifications and calculations made by scientists, engineers, architects, and designers.

This programme provides study over a range of disciplines to help you develop skills for career progression or further study at degree level.
