George Brown Polytechnic is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and other Indigenous peoples who have lived here over time. We are grateful to share this land as treaty people who learn, work and live in the community with each other.
At the School of Engineering Technology, you’ll gain the technical knowledge and hands-on experience to work in automation, manufacturing, mechanical design, and power and control systems. All programs share a common first semester—so you’ll have the flexibility to explore your interests and transfer into a different specialization before committing to a specific path.
You’ll train in the School’s machine shops, electrical and process engineering labs, and robotics facilities, and you’ll take on student design projects that have included collapsible wind turbines, electric Vespas, and robots—building a portfolio of experience that reflects real industry tools and workflows. Whether you’re drawn to robotics, precision machining, or building automation, you’ll graduate ready to join a high-demand field.
