Bhagwant Duggal, Mechanical Technician
Bhagwant studied architecture for one year in university when he realized that he really wanted to study drafting. Red River College offered what he wanted, including summer internships. These gave him the opportunity to get job experience and see what the trade involved. After Bhagwant graduated, he worked in a construction and an architecture firm, before he found his current job.
Most mechanical engineering technicians work in consulting engineering, manufacturing and processing companies, institutions and government departments. They provide technical support to mechanical engineers who design, develop, and maintain machines, components, tools, heating and ventilating systems, power generation and power conversion plants, manufacturing plants and equipment.
