Mechanical Engineering Technician Diploma

About this programme

Program availability varies by academic year. Refer to the Ontario College Application Service (OCAS) for Domestic Students or OCAS International for the most up-to-date availability. Applications open in October prior to the next academic year. This program is a strong fit for creative students who like to imagine ideas, design solutions, build things, and see how machines work in the real world. In Northern’s Mechanical Engineering Technician program, students learn practical skills in sketching, 3D modelling, technical drawings, product design, prototyping, machining, manufacturing, and industrial maintenance. Using Northern’s advanced 3D printing studio and manufacturing lab, students work with state-of-the-art equipment such as 3D printers, scanners, mills, and lathes to turn ideas into physical parts, test and improve designs, and understand how products and mechanical systems are made. Graduates can apply these hands-on skills in mining, manufacturing, forestry, construction, energy, and industrial services, in roles such as mechanical engineering technician, product design technician, CAD/design technician, manufacturing technician, maintenance technician, or industrial mechanical support technician.
