Graduate Certificate in Environmental Monitoring and Impact Assessment

at Cambrian College - Barrydowne Campus Canada

Mechanical engineering technologists put ideas into action. Mechanical engineering is a broad field of engineering that is present in almost every industry. From automotive to aerospace to power, the possibilities for a rewarding career in mechanical engineering are endless. Take the biomedical industry for example, mechanical engineers can change lives by developing artificial limbs, pacemakers, robotic surgical equipment, and more.

If you’re interested in designing, testing, fabricating, or constructing various types of mechanical devices, then our Mechanical Engineering Technology program is for you.

You will learn how to use computer-aided design programs like AutoCAD and SolidWorks to develop mechanical components in 3D. You’ll then have opportunities to take your designs a step further by producing them in our machining labs.

Throughout the program you’ll also have unique opportunities to put your skills into practice by working on real community and applied research projects in labs that are equipped with state-of-the-art, advanced manufacturing equipment.

In your third year, you will expand your knowledge of design, quality assurance, and manufacturing process, as well as project management to ensure that you are career ready.

If you have a vision for how the world should be constructed, below and above ground, consider a career in Civil Engineering – one of the world’s oldest engineering disciplines! In our nationally-accredited Civil Engineering Technology program, you’ll gain the skills and knowledge to become a member of civil engineering teams that are responsible for building, maintaining, and restoring roads, bridges, buildings, water distribution systems, and pipelines. Courses are focused on applying professionalism towards drafting, surveying, construction methods, costing, quality control, inspections, and laboratory testing.

You will gain practical, hands-on experience in the College’s Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) laboratories and through surveying training using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) scanning equipment, point cloud management software, and electronic survey equipment that’s interfaced with survey and drafting software.
