Overview

Mechanical Engineering Technology Diploma

Mechanical engineering technologists (METs) use practical applications of science and technology to problem-solve and innovate. 

METs are involved in all stages of design, development, and implementation - supporting projects from conception to completion and ongoing operation in a broad spectrum of industries. 

Whether you want to flex your design and analytical skills or make and influence policy and process improvements, the versatile education within MET provides the necessary foundation.  

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

You’ll learn how to apply scientific principles to solve basic engineering problems involving:

  • air conditioning
  • computer applications
  • engineering design
  • fluids and materials
  • industrial instrumentation
  • power and thermodynamics
  • process control
  • project management

Saskatchewan Polytechnic’s hands-on approach to learning means you’ll learn by doing. 

You’ll 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.
