Course Description

Program Description Mechanical Engineering Technologists develop a diverse technical background, good "hands-on" skills, and excellent people skills. These attributes make them well suited to employment in a wide variety of industries in both field and management related roles. Graduates completing this program are automatically eligible for membership in the Association of Engineering Technicians and Technologists of Newfoundland and Labrador (AETTNL), as well as any similar association in Canada. Upon completion of this program graduates may choose to further their education by completing a bachelor degree in technology or engineering at one of several institutions that have articulation agreements with College of the North Atlantic. Objectives Through this program of study, graduates are equipped with the technical knowledge and "hands-on" skills required for: The design, installation, implementation, operation, maintenance, and management of power generation systems, Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, and general mechanical support systems which are required for petroleum production systems, petroleum refineries, processing plants, office buildings and residences. The development of mechanical working drawings and computer-based models of mechanical systems using AutoCAD and related engineering analysis software. Note: 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 at the Gander campus which offers first-year engineering technology. After completing the first two semesters, students must enter the Ridge Road campus which offers the program of their choice to complete the seven-week Intersession (May, June), and the subsequent years of their program.
