Introduction
Graduates of Mechanical Engineering Technology Programs carry out mechanical engineering functions within an engineering environment. Graduates have demonstrated achievement of vocational learning outcomes which relate to engineering in general and mechanical engineering in particular. Graduates of the Mechanical Engineering & Design Technology diploma program are trained to: perform design in the production of components in a mechanical engineering environment, perform analysis in the production of components in a mechanical engineering environment, perform supervisory functions in the production of components in a mechanical engineering environment, carry out manufacturing and quality control procedures, and apply communication, documentation, computer applications, information technology, and teamwork skills to support the engineering activities of an organization.
The graduates work in a wide range of settings in both large and small organizations and in a variety of sectors in the mechanical engineering industry. Their activities could range from computer-aided design and manufacturing, to industrial sales, or to junior management in the mechanical field.
A special feature of this program is the “capstone” Engineering Project course taken at the end of the third term which includes such topics as project management concepts; needs identification techniques; proposed solutions preparation; the project life cycle; the project manager’s responsibilities and skills; the effective project team; types of project organizations; project communications and documentation; project planning, scheduling, and control; resource considerations; and cost planning and performance evaluation. In this course, students have the opportunity to replicate an actual mechanical engineering project under the direction of NAC’s instructors who are also practicing professional engineers.
