The Automation and Manufacturing industry is growing rapidly and the Automation and Manufacturing Engineering Technology (AMET) program comes as a natural response to meet this growth. Graduates of this program will have general mechanical engineering knowledge such as materials, thermodynamics, management and more, in addition to the required skills and knowledge to compete effectively in the mechanical engineering field. AMET is a program that combines problem solving skills, analytical and lean thinking, strong troubleshooting practices and project management skills. This combination will prepare AMET graduates for rewarding careers in the field of Automation and Manufacturing. Students of this program will be exposed to topics highly in demand for the industry such as NDT, CIM, Lean, and FMEA. The components of the program were developed based on feedback from industry stakeholders to meet the needs and expectations of an exciting and diversified career area. Graduates will meet the National Technology Benchmarks of their field and will develop knowledge and skills that enable them to:

• communicate design ideas by producing sketches, 2D and 3D drawings and prototypes
• prepare product specifications for manufacturing
• demonstrate high level of technical communications and critical thinking skills
• use project management principles to plan and execute projects
• conduct failure analysis to identify defects and risks in products
• operate various metal removal machines including CNC
• demonstrate the understanding of plastics manufacturing
• write functional programs for robotics and utilize PLCs
• apply math, physics and other science topics to solve design problems
• comply with industry standards of safety, ethics, and workplace practices.

Minimum average of 65% with no mark below 50% in:

1. ELA 30-1 or ELA 30-2 or equivalent
2. Math 30-1 or equivalent
3. Physics 20 or equivalent
4. Two of Chemistry 30, Mathematics 31, Physics 30, Science 30 or of Computer Science Advanced-Level CTS (5 credits) or equivalent

Note: In addition to the program admission requirements applicants, whose first language is not English, must demonstrate English language proficiency.

Note: Applicants are required to have a laptop computer that uses Microsoft Windows 7 as the operating system with a 64 bit processor, Intel i3 CPU or better, and 8GB RAM or more.

Note: Applicants may be required to undergo a Police Information Check to the satisfaction of some agencies where they might be placed for practicum experiences. The existence of a Criminal Record may affect practicum placement and program completion; therefore impacting future employment prospects. The decision to accept or reject a student for placement or observation experience based on the results of the criminal record check would rest solely with the respective organization.

The student must pass all courses and achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.00.
