Engineers are responsible for solving many of the challenges of modern life. As an engineer, you have the ability to tackle these problems by using your knowledge of science and mathematics. In the first year of the two-year Diploma in Engineering and Fabrication Technologies program, you will complete the academic courses required for the first year of a bachelor’s degree in engineering at a university. In the second year of the program, you’ll develop practical skills in design and prototyping in our fabrication lab using industry-standard equipment. If you transfer to university to complete a bachelor’s degree in engineering, these practical skills will give you a competitive edge when applying for co-operative education placements. You’ll gain experience with constructing and programming robots, using a Raspberry Pi to control mechanical devices, and using cutting-edge fabrication technologies such as water jet cutters and laser cutters. Put your skills to work by joining the optional Co-operative Education Program , which alternates semesters of study with paid, full-time work in your field. You’ll earn money while gaining experience, building your resume and getting an employer reference, all before you graduate.
