Ontario College Advanced Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technology - Robotics and Automation (Optional Co-op) in Cambridge Canada | Conestoga College

This diploma program offers a co‚Äëoperative education model, blending six academic terms at the College with three practical work terms in industry. The curriculum merges theoretical foundations with hands-on training in operating robotic and automated systems through electronics, programmable controllers, computers, hydraulics, and pneumatics. Students also develop expertise in 3D CAD, mechanical systems, electric motors, servo-mechanisms, advanced robotics, industrial automation, and safety protocols. The program emphasizes practical approaches for designing, modifying, installing, testing, maintaining, repairing, and troubleshooting equipment and systems. In the final year, students complete a capstone project that synthesizes classroom and work-term learning into designing and building a functional manufacturing work cell. An optional co-op track provides three additional work terms. Graduates can pursue dynamic careers in fields such as mechatronics, robotics applications, and smart systems development, with coursework covering IoT, Industry 4.0 principles, additive manufacturing, and smart systems integration. The Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT) grants conditional recognition for meeting the academic requirements toward Certified Engineering Technologist (CET) certification.
