Program Overview
Become job-ready in just two years
Develop mechanical design and manufacturing solutions for real-world applications. You'll study specialized design functions used in aerospace, energy, automotive, biotechnology, robotics and building facilities. You'll also gain an understanding of niche concepts like advanced CAD/CAM, VR, mould design, AI in design, FEA, jig and fixture design and additive manufacturing.
Hands-on learning and problem solving
Work on project-based assignments in labs that simulate the real world, supervised by expert professors who have decades of industrial experience! Our Centre for Intelligent Manufacturing (formerly known as the Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Design Technologies) features the latest equipment, software and applications. Enjoy opportunities to work with our industry partners, join engineering design clubs and participate in design competitions.
Work toward your advanced diploma or other certifications
When you graduate, you can either enter the workforce or go directly into the third year of Sheridan’s Mechanical Engineering Technology – Design advanced diploma program. You’ll also have completed all the academic requirements for professional certification with the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT).
