Aerospace Manufacturing
Engineering Technology
Program Code: 0312
Overview
Someone has to build and upgrade the airplanes we fly every day – even the rockets we ride
into space. Will that someone be you?
This three-year diploma program teaches you how to function effectively in Canada’s aerospace industry, taking it a
step further than the two-year technician program. Work with advanced design programs such as CATIA. Learn about
composites and how these materials make the world of difference in flight. Get hands-on experience in machining, CNC
and other building fundamentals. In your third year, you’ll also learn machine design, advanced tool design, operations
research and management and advanced manufacturing. This program gives you the tools you need to get a job and
climb the ranks quickly in aviation manufacturing and engineering.
Top Highlights
• Developed in consultation with Canada’s
leading aerospace companies including
Avcorp (BC), Arnprior Aerospace,
Bombardier Regional Aircraft (deHavilland),
Bombardier Transportation (Thunder
Bay), Boeing Canada Technology Ltd. and
Magellan Aerospace
• Learn and work in our state-of-the-art lab
facilities located in the new Technology,
Education and Collaboration Hub
• Transfer your skills to other industries
including mass transit, car manufacturing,
recreational vehicle design and
manufacturing, and more

Learner Testimonial
The knowledge gained from the AMET program
gives you a big competitive advantage over
other people. The classes that you take will
give you both the hands-on experience that a
textbook can’t teach, as well as those theory
classes that make you understand why and
how everything works. It is a perfect balance
between the in-class lectures and labs to use
and learn first-hand with the processes and
materials.

Alternative Pathways
If you do not possess the necessary admission
requirements (or equivalency), we encourage you to
consider our Pre-Technology-Technology/Aviation
program which will provide the necessary preparation to
apply to this program. Completion of the Pre-TechnologyTechnology/Aviation program does not guarantee
admission to the Aerospace Manufacturing Engineering
Technician program in a subsequent year.
Employment Opportunities
Graduates of Confederation College’s Aerospace
Manufacturing Engineering Technologist Advanced
Diploma program go on to work at aerospace
manufacturing and design companies including
Bombardier, Boeing, Bell Helicopter, Airbus and others.
Many of the skills and knowledge you’ll learn here can be
easily transferred to other industries including automotive,
rail and industrial manufacturing.
