Overview
Manufacturing Engineering Technology Diploma program
@ NBCC Moncton or NBCC Saint John Grandview campus
Starts September 2024
The requirements for this program may be achieved within 3 months full time study followed by 21 months part time study.
The Manufacturing Engineering Technology diploma program is designed to prepare graduates for technical positions in the manufacturing industry. This program integrates academic studies within regular, full-time employment in a manufacturing firm. It is ideal for students who are interested in the manufacturing industry and are looking for an opportunity to gain hands-on workplace experience while studying. During the program, students will take part in an initial release period, where their employer releases them for several months to attend class full time. For the remainder of the program, they will report to work four days per week and attend class one day per week. This provides students a true learning integrated work experience.
The first half of the program covers the fundamentals of manufacturing engineering technology including engineering materials, manufacturing processes, CAD software, and principles of quality control. In addition to the technical skills, students will learn and apply fundamental knowledge in math, physical science, electricity, instrumentation, communications, information technology, teamwork, and ethics to support the manufacturing activities of an organization.
In the second half of the program, courses focus on specific aspects of manufacturing including machine design, manufacturing processes such as Computer Numerical Control (CNC) and 3D printing, Computer Aided Design (CAD) modelling, process control, and project management. Through practical application in their workplace, students gain real-world work experience while earning their diploma.
