Mechanical Design & Advanced Manufacturing

The Mechanical Design and Advanced Manufacturing, two-semester Ontario College Graduate Certificate program prepares students to meet the evolving demands of the engineering sector by focusing on the design, analysis, and optimization of machines, mechanical products, and production systems. Unlike programs that specialize in materials or chemical processes, this program emphasizes applied mechanical engineering, sustainable design strategies, and the integration of advanced digital tools in modern manufacturing environments. In the program, students develop expertise in mechanical system modeling, simulation, and digital manufacturing tools while gaining practical skills in production planning, lean manufacturing, and quality assurance. A strong focus on sustainable engineering ensures graduates are equipped to design innovative solutions that balance performance, efficiency, and environmental impact.
