Labs and workshops
Most of your practical work takes place in the Escarpment Building and the Tamarack Building. The Escarpment Building houses the department's engineering labs, where you will run simulations, test materials, and work with advanced manufacturing equipment. The Tamarack Building provides the shops and welding bays needed for fabrication and machining projects.
You must be 16 years old to enter the shops. If you are under 18, you will need a signed consent form from a parent or guardian. The department also offers three paid co-op work terms for eligible programs, so you can gain industry experience before you graduate.
