Mechanical engineering technologists help ensure the machines and systems society depends on work the way they’re supposed to. Students need an aptitude for all things mechanical, but they also need good problem-solving and analytical skills, because their job will involve troubleshooting problems; finding better, more efficient ways to do things; and ensuring vital systems stay up and running.
The job market is strong; the opportunities are diverse. Students could work in mechanical design for a consulting engineering firm, as an engineering assistant at a manufacturing plant, as a systems inspector for a regulatory agency or as a technical sales representative for an equipment distributor.
Mechanical Engineering Technology is a two-year diploma program offered at Saskatchewan Polytechnic, Saskatoon Campus. The program focuses on mechanical design and drafting, industrial and HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) systems and process instrumentation. Students will learn how to apply scientific principles to solve basic engineering problems involving:
Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s hands-on approach to learning means students will learn by doing. They will design a complete air conditioning system, use cutting edge software to design a machine, conduct an applied research project, troubleshoot solutions on a technical project and more.
Mechanical Engineering Technology graduates are working in many different industries—manufacturing, mining, transportation, the oil patch and more. There are entry-level jobs in mechanical design and drafting, product testing, process instrumentation, systems inspection, technical sales and support. Potential employers include consulting engineering firms, mining and manufacturing companies, equipment distributors, utilities, municipalities and government agencies.
