Mechanical Engineering Technology

Applies the principles of mechanics and materials to design machines and devices, from design to manufacturing, for careers in energy, manufacturing, automotive and robotics.

Overview

The Mechanical Engineering Technology program focuses on applying the principles of mechanics and materials to design machines and devices. In an energy-conscious world, a thorough understanding of energy and its uses is essential to a mechanical engineer's success. From design to manufacturing, students combine creativity, knowledge and analytical tools to shape an idea into reality. The training covers basic science and engineering principles along with computer-aided design, instrumentation, and the planning and management of design projects, and graduates are expected to master the technical side while showing real competence in communication, fiscal management and project control. These skills open careers in energy, oil and gas, manufacturing, steel, automotive, robotics and information technology, and students can use the department's career services to build valuable industry connections.
What you'll learn in the Mechanical Engineering Technology program

What you'll learn in the Mechanical Engineering Technology program

Students in MET learn practical skills to design, build, test, and maintain mechanical systems. They study mechanical design with CAD tools, materials and manufacturing processes such as machining and CNC, and applied mechanics including statics, dynamics, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics. The program also covers automation with sensors, PLCs, and basic robotics, as well as machine systems like engines, pumps, and HVAC. Students gain experience in prototyping, testing, troubleshooting, and using modern engineering tools to solve real-world problems.

  • Metrology and Quality Control
  • Principles of Physics II (with Laboratory)
  • CNC Programming and Machining I
  • Applied Engineering Mathematics
  • Statics with Applications (with Laboratory)

Admission requirements

The institute admits 30 students into each of its programs every year. The standard entry requirements for its engineering degree programs are:

  • A Baccalauréat (series C, D, E or F) with an overall average of at least 12/20, for applicants from French-speaking education systems; or
  • A GCE A Level with at least 12 points, including a B grade or better in Physics and in Mathematics, for applicants from English-speaking education systems, or another internationally recognized equivalent qualification; or
  • One successfully completed year in Physics, Mathematics and Computer Science at a recognized university.
  • Applicants still awaiting their Baccalauréat or GCE A Level results may also apply.
  • Applicants must not have repeated a class in their last three years of high school.
  • Proof of sufficient command of English (TOEFL or IELTS). Applicants for whom English is a second language may be admitted on condition that they reach the required TOEFL or IELTS score before the end of the first semester.
  • Official transcripts of the last three years of high school.
  • A completed application form provided by the institute.
