Overview

Diploma - Engineering and Fabrication Technologies

In the first year of the two-year Diploma in Engineering and Fabrication Technologies program at Douglas College, you will complete the academic courses required for a university's first year of a bachelor’s degree in engineering.

In the program's second year, you’ll develop practical skills in design and prototyping in College's fabrication lab using industry-standard equipment. 

If you transfer to a 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 cutting-edge fabrication technologies such as water jet and laser cutters.
