Get training for a specialized career
After building a strong foundation of mechanical engineering design knowledge in your first two years, you’ll study more specialized subjects in your final two semesters. An understanding of niche concepts such as mechanical design and simulation, kinematics, building facilities layout, HVAC, sustainable design and design analysis may lead to better career opportunities when you graduate.

Gain real-world experience and build connections
Sheridan’s labs simulate the workplace, but they can’t completely replicate it. Put your new mechanical engineering skills to work for our industry partners in two 12-month paid co-op terms: one after your third semester and another in your third year of studies. You’ll also collaborate with peers to help our partners resolve a real-world issue in your capstone research project.

Browse our student project gallery for examples of student work and research by visiting the thinkFAST Capstone project webpage.

Earn credits towards a degree or other certification
As a graduate of this program, you’ll have the opportunity to transfer into the third year of Sheridan’s Honours Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering degree (some bridge courses will be required.) You’ll also have completed all of the academic requirements of personal certification with the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT).

Our Mechanical Engineering Technology – Design program is built to give you the technical knowledge and hands-on experience today’s employers look for. Upon graduation, you'll be qualified to perform engineering work in the industrial and manufacturing sectors.

Potential fields of work include:

Additive Manufacturing/CAD/CAM
Plant Operations
Process Piping and HVAC
Product Development and Testing
Quality Control
Design Engineering
Design Analysis
Manufacturing Engineering
