Student success in college requires well developed learning skills and attitudes (such as being able to work independently, participate in a team, be well-organized, develop good work habits, and show initiative). These skills are as important as prior academic achievement. Applicants should have thoroughly developed these skills and attitudes before beginning their college programs.

List of courses

OUR PROGRAM

Mechanical engineering is a cornerstone of sophisticated and technologically advanced economies. Process automation and control, precision machining and design functions can be found in industries as diverse as automotive, aerospace, robotics, biotechnology and energy, and these mechanical functions open doors to a vast array of industrial automation and design-oriented careers.

Hear what our students have to say about this program

A solid grounding in engineering sciences, practical hands-on experience in mechanical shops and computer assisted design laboratories provide the balance between the applied and theoretical knowledge that employers expect in today’s integrated work environments.

In the third year of the program, teams plan and craft their own creations that require the application of all of the knowledge accumulated throughout the program. Once built, projects such as medical devices, entertainment equipment, solar-powered products and automotive accessories are put on display and form an important part of the student assessment. More importantly, graduates learn to work in teams while solidifying their mechanical engineering knowledge and skills.

YOUR FUTURE STUDY OPTIONS

A significant proportion of graduates are eligible for advanced standing in the engineering programs of various universities in Ontario.

Qualifying students can enter directly into the third year of McMaster University’s Bachelor of Technology program.

YOUR CAREER

The government of Ontario has specifically identified engineering as an area of future skills shortage. Graduates can expect to find positions on technical teams that design, produce and maintain automated equipment and systems in all industries. An engineering background will enable graduates to move to more senior levels of responsibility at an earlier stage of their careers.

“I chose George Brown because I was looking for a more hands-on approach to learning and the university route was not for me. Not only does George Brown have excellent professors and support staff who provide great learning opportunities, but they have been mentors during my three years at the college. I would personally recommend George Brown to anyone thinking about a career in mechanical engineering technologies.”

Lawrence Lee (2008 graduate, Mechanical Technician – Tool and Die and Mechanical Engineering – Design)
