Program Description Engineering Technology: The college offers a common first year in Engineering Technology. This allows students to complete the first two semesters of the engineering technology program that they have been accepted to. After completing the first two semesters, students must enter the campus which offers the program of their choice to complete the seven week Intersession (May, June), and the subsequent years of their program. Mechanical Engineering Technology - Manufacturing: Mechanical Engineering Technologists, who complete a studies focus in manufacturing, are proficient in the specification, implementation, operation, maintenance and supervision of manufacturing systems and personnel. These technologists are prepared to assume the role of decision maker early in their careers in both the traditional and advanced manufacturing sectors. Upon the successful completion of the Mechanical Engineering Technology (Manufacturing) Co-op program the graduate will be able to: Utilize Computer Aided Design and Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAD/CAM) software as per industry standards. Design mechanical components/assemblies and create engineering drawings and specifications through the use of 2D and 3D CAD and Modeling software. Develop electro-pneumatic and other automation systems, through hands-on practical experience with programming and operating Computer Numerical Control (CNC) equipment, Robotics, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC's). Operate Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) systems drawing on the knowledge learned through core-engineering concepts of materials science, strength of materials, and machine design. Apply quality assurance standards and practical quality control techniques in precision measurement. Manage projects, resources and people in a supervisor role through the use of problem solving and related skills. Note: Students will spend their first two semesters at Carbonear campus before transferring to Ridge Road campus to complete the rest of their degree.
