Advanced Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technology - Automotive Product Design

St. Clair College

Mechanical Engineering is the study of the principles of physics for the purpose of harnessing energy for human consumption. This program provides students with the knowledge to conduct the analysis, design, manufacturing, and maintenance of mechanical systems. Students will develop a solid understanding of core concepts including mechanics, kinematics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and energy and their applications to automotive processes. Mechanical Engineering Technologists use the core principles as well as specialized knowledge in the field to design and analyze motor vehicles, aircraft, heating and cooling systems, watercraft, manufacturing plants, industrial machinery, and automation.Program HighlightsState-of-the-art training facility in the on-site Ford Centre for Excellence in Manufacturing.Credit Transfer Program with the University of Windsor Faculty of Engineering and additional universities.Opportunity for students to attend field trips to local design and manufacturing facilities along with events/conferences focused on progression in the mobility sector.Students in this program fare exceptionally well at Provincial and National Skills Competitions in Mechanical CAD.Automotive-focused course labs delivered with hands-on training in the Automotive building at St. Clair College.Career OpportunitiesGraduates find excellent opportunities in product development, testing and analysis, computer-aided design and drafting, material selection and estimating machine and system component design, technical sales and junior management positions in the energy, manufacturing, controls and alternative energy industries.
