Overview
Are you a creative person with big ideas? Looking for a career that will challenge you? Engineers are responsible for solving many of the challenges of modern life. As an engineer, you have the ability to create anything you want ? from key rings to robots to airplanes ? by using your knowledge of science and mathematics.
In the first year of the two-year Diploma in Engineering and Fabrication Technologies program, you will complete the academic courses required for the first year of a bachelor?s degree in engineering at a university. In the?second?year of the program, you?ll develop practical skills in design and prototyping?in our fabrication?lab?using industry-standard equipment.?If you transfer to university to complete a bachelor?s degree in engineering,?these?practical skills will give you?a?competitive edge?when applying for?co-operative education placements. You?ll gain experience constructing and programming robots, using Raspberry Pi to control mechanical devices and using cutting-edge fabrication technologies such as water jet cutters and laser cutters.
Transfer to university
