    Description


    Mechanical Engineering Technologists, who complete studies focused on manufacturing, are proficient in the specification, implementation, operation, maintenance and supervision of manufacturing systems and personnel. These technologists are prepared to assume the role of decision-maker early in their careers in both the traditional and advanced manufacturing sectors. The knowledge of core mechanical engineering principles, above average problem-solving ability, and superior "hands-on" skills also make these graduates well suited to employment in related industries.
     
    Students in this program utilize the advanced technology resources available through the College's Manufacturing Technology Center (MTC). The MTC is mandated to provide both direct and indirect support to industry through activities such as product and process prototyping.
     
    Graduates completing this program are automatically eligible for membership in the Association of Engineering Technicians and Technologists of Newfoundland and Labrador (AETTNL), as well as any similar association in Canada. 
     
    Upon completion of this program graduates may choose to further their education by completing a bachelor degree in technology or engineering at one of several institutions that have articulation agreements with College of the North Atlantic.

    ACCREDITATION
    This program has been accredited since 1998 by the Canadian Technology Accreditation Board (CTAB) under the mandate of the Canadian Council of Technicians and Technologists.  In 2019, Technology Accreditation Canada (TAC) became the sole accrediting body of engineering technology programs in Canada.  TAC will recognize CTAB accredited programs until the accreditation transition period is complete. 
     
    Graduates with two years of progressive work experience may be eligible to receive the designation of Professional Technologist (P. Tech) upon completion of a Professional Practice and Ethics Exam
     
    This program is also CEWIL (Co-operative Education and Work-Integrated Learning) accredited.
     
    The academic credentials of graduates of accredited technology programs are recognized internationally by the signatories of the Sydney Accord.
     
    OBJECTIVES
    Upon the successful completion of the Mechanical Engineering Technology (Manufacturing) Co-op program the graduate will be able to:
     
    1. Utilize Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) software as per industry standards.
    2. Design mechanical components/assemblies and create engineering drawings and specifications through the use of 2D and 3D CAD and Modeling software.
    3. Develop electro-pneumatic and other automation systems, through hands-on practical experience with programming and operating Computer Numerical Control (CNC) equipment, Robotics, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's).
    4. Operate Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) systems drawing on the knowledge learned through core-engineering concepts of materials science, strength of materials, and machine design.
    5. Apply quality assurance standards and practical quality control techniques in precision measurement.
    6. Manage projects, resources and people in a supervisor role through the use of problem solving and related skills.

    CURRICULUM
    General education consisting of Project Management Skills (theoretical and applied), Communication Skills (oral and written), Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Electrotechnology, Computers, Engineering Graphics, Technology Awareness, and Student Success.
     
    Specific education consisting of discipline specific courses such as Mechanics, Strengths of Materials, Materials and Processes, Machine Design, Hydraulics and Pneumatics, Engineering Management, Quality Assurance, and Maintenance.
     
    Practical education employing labs and shops focused on Computer Numerical Control (CNC), Tool Design, and Computer Integrated Manufacturing.
     
    Work exposure consisting of field experience, gained from compensated work terms, in the field of manufacturing.

    CAREER OPPORTUNITIES
    Career opportunities for graduates of this program exist with consulting firms, manufacturing firms, shipbuilding yards, oil & gas servicing industry, food processing plants, research institutions and government departments.

    CERTIFICATIONS
    In addition to formal semester courses listed in the program of studies, students in the Mechanical Engineering Technology (Manufacturing) Co-op program are required to obtain a certificate of completion in Standard First Aid/Heart Start and WHMIS, over their three-year period of studies.
     
    *Students should be aware that additional fees may apply for external certifications.
