COURSE CURRICULUM

The Diploma in Engineering and Fabrication Technologies requires the completion of 68 credits, combining essential academic and practical courses to prepare students for further study or employment in engineering. Core science courses include Chemistry for Engineering (CHEM 1150), Mechanics (PHYS 1110), and Optics, Electromagnetism, and Circuits (PHYS 1210), providing a strong foundation in physical sciences. Mathematics courses cover Calculus I through IV (MATH 1120, 1220, 2321, 2440), Applied Linear Algebra (MATH 2210), Introduction to Differential Equations (MATH 2421), and optional courses such as Discrete Mathematics I and Probability and Statistics, ensuring comprehensive mathematical training. Engineering-specific courses include Engineering Graphics & Design (ENGR 1110), Introduction to Engineering Design (ENGR 1190), and hands-on prototyping courses such as Mechanical Prototyping (ENGR 2100), Electronics Design and Prototyping (ENGR 2200), and the Applied Engineering Project: Prototype Development (ENGR 2999), which focus on developing practical skills using industry-standard technologies. Computer programming courses, including Computer Programming I (CMPT 1109), Designing with Raspberry Pi (CMPT 2200), and electives like Software Engineering and Data Structures, help build critical programming and design abilities. Additionally, students must complete a university-transferable arts elective and choose between Professional Communication for Engineering Students or Academic Writing to enhance communication skills. Other elective courses in economics, engineering technology, and advanced mathematics offer further specialization. This well-rounded curriculum blends theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience, equipping students with the expertise needed for successful careers or university transfer in engineering and fabrication technology.
