Mechanical Technology

The mechanical technology programme is an integral and important part of several
areas of industrial activity which incorporate people, machines, mechanics and
industrial processes. In general, the functions performed in these industries by
technically trained personnel are related to engineering activities in such a way as
to require broad understanding of engineering principles.

Employers report that the need for mechanical technology graduates is greater than
the available supply. Almost all student placement offices report a shortage of
trained technologists in this very important area of industrial service.

This course, which offers a curriculum planned to provide broad technical compe-
tence for a variety of occupations, has been prepared to continue for two years the
training of students who have graduated from the secondary schools.

Students who have followed the new industrial training programme to be offered
in British Columbia schools will be in a good position to take this course since they
have had some training in drafting, machine shop, electricity and metallurgy. They
will also have sufficient knowledge in mathematics, science and English to cope with
the academic courses of the programme.

Students who have deficiencies in Mathematics or Science may be required to
enrol in College Preparatory Courses.
