Student Success
“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.”

Overview
Program Overview
Study real-world solutions. Mechanical engineering is the 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. These mechanical functions open doors to a wide range of industrial automation and design-oriented careers. This program offers two streams (1) Residency Stream and (2) Online Stream. Students may transfer between the online and residency streams with academic advisement.
- Students in the Residency stream complete laboratory work throughout their program. Students in the Residency stream may choose to take the T174 Pathway in their last summer semester. The T174 pathway enables students to graduate with two diplomas: T121 (Mechanical Engineering Technology – design) and T173 (Mechanical Engineering Technician – CNC and precision machining).
- Students in the Online stream do not take any on-campus classes. However, students in the Online stream who wish to have hands-on machining experience have the opportunity to complete the T149 “Mechanical Techniques certificate” summer program in place of one of the summer vacations in the program. Students in the Online stream who have taken T149 are also eligible to take the T174 Pathway in the following summer semester. The T174 pathway enables graduation with two diplomas: T121 (Mechanical Engineering Technology – design) and T173 (Mechanical Engineering Technician – CNC and precision machining).
Full Description
Designing the future, today. A solid grounding in engineering sciences and practical hands-on experience in mechanical and computer-assisted design labs provides the combination of applied and theoretical knowledge that employers require in today’s integrated work environments.
In the third year of the program, teams plan, fabricate and test their own designs 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 often 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.
Note: If you enrol in the program in January, you must complete Semester 2 in the summer (May to August) of the same year.
Your Field Education Options
Field study in the form of industry-driven applied research projects are provided to students. Students work closely with their industry sponsor to design, fabricate and test a solution to a real-world problem.
Program Learning Outcomes
The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to:
- Communicate clearly and concisely in written, graphic and oral form using appropriate formal and informal vocabulary and formats.
- Display appropriate responsible attitudes.
- Carry out established design procedures, making use of handbooks, catalogues, specifications and codes. He/she should be able to recognize problems and apply established engineering practice to arrive at practical solutions.
- Prepare and interpret detail drawings, assembly drawings and compile technical specifications.
- Inspect, conduct tests and compare and compile data in accordance with standard formats and procedures.
- Assist in the planning, operation, control and improvement of manufacturing and production processes.
- Participate in the installation and maintenance of equipment and systems.

Overview
Program Overview
Mechanical engineering is the 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. These mechanical functions open doors to a wide range of industrial automation and design-oriented careers.
Full Description
A solid grounding in engineering sciences and practical hands-on experience in mechanical shops and computer assisted design laboratories provide the combination of 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 often 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.
Note: If you enrol in the program in January, you must complete semester 2 in the summer (May to August) of the same year.
Your Field Education Options
Field study in the form of applied research is provided to all students.
Some students will also have the opportunity to complete a Co-op term. Co-op participants will be selected based on their academic performance, including a minimum GPA of 3.0 and an interview component.
Program Learning Outcomes
The graduate has reliably demonstrated the ability to:
- Communicate clearly and concisely in written, graphic and oral form using appropriate formal and informal vocabulary and formats.
- Display appropriate responsible attitudes.
- Carry out established design procedures, making use of handbooks, catalogues, specifications, and codes. He/she should be able to recognize problems and apply established engineering practice to arrive at practical solutions.
- Prepare and interpret detail drawings, assembly drawings and compile technical specifications.
- Inspect, conduct tests, and compare and compile data in accordance with standard formats and procedures.
- Assist in the planning, operation, control, and improvement of manufacturing and production processes.
- Participate in the installation and maintenance of equipment and systems.
