Envision transforming a smart product concept into reality. Start with a conceptual design, refine it, conduct mechanical engineering analyses, and develop a prototype featuring customizable options, smart controls, and sensor integration. Throughout the design and prototyping phases, strategize manufacturing processes utilizing cutting-edge automation and robotics.
The Work Integrated Learning approach incorporates project-based coursework. Learners get hands-on experience designing and constructing products to complement theoretical knowledge, moving beyond traditional lectures and assignments.
Participants can engage in extracurricular initiatives like our Eco-car project, where students design and assemble an ultra-efficient concept vehicle. This project has achieved global recognition, placing second in the Shell Eco-marathon World Championship. Additional opportunities include short-term international exchange programs for cross-cultural learning experiences.
This two-year Design and Manufacturing Engineering Technology diploma program is available at Saskatchewan Polytechnic's Saskatoon Campus on Idylwyld Dr.
With expert faculty and state-of-the-art lab facilities, Saskatchewan Polytechnic delivers an immersive, practical education. The program nurtures innovation while equipping students with essential engineering and manufacturing skills to materialize their ideas.
