Overview
Mechanical Engineering Technology is a rigorous, hands-on, two-year diploma program designed to equip you with the technical, analytical and problem-solving skills required for a variety of dynamic careers in mechanical engineering.
This program offers a foundation in the core principles of engineering, combined with practical application and design.
The first year serves as a comprehensive introduction to the field, covering essential subjects such as:
- fundamental mathematics and science for engineering applications
- computer-aided design (CAD) to bring designs to life using industry-standard software
- specialized courses that provide a deeper understanding of mechanical engineering principles.
After successfully completing your first year, you’ll choose from one of three specializations - Design and Analysis, Design and Development, or Design and Automation.
While we try to accommodate everyone’s specialization preference, selection is based on academic performance in relevant courses, particularly in cases where demand for a specific major exceeds available spots.
Design and Analysis
If you are interested in designing sophisticated mechanical systems, design and analysis is for you. You will:
- learn to create complex mechanical systems and components
- study the effects of vibrations on machinery and how to mitigate them
- explore energy systems and thermodynamics, the principles governing heat, work, temperature and energy
- understand the behaviour of fluids in motion and at rest and their interaction with solids.
Design and Automation
This is for those interested in automated processes in numerous industries. In design and automation, you will:
- delve into designing complex automated systems for manufacturing and other applications
- study programmable logic controllers, IEC61131-3 languages and their applications in automation
- understand the design and operation, and apply various robotics integrations for industrial and manufacturing settings.
Design and Development
This is for you if you want to make prototypes for products and systems. In design and development, you will:
- acquire skills in creating scale models for testing design concepts
- learn rapid prototyping techniques to bring ideas to tangible forms quickly
- focus on designing products and systems for optimal human use and comfort.
Regardless of your specialization, this program prepares you for immediate employment and provides a strong foundation for further studies.

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
