Lambton College’s Chemical Production & Power Engineering Technology (CPET) program has gained national recognition for its ability to train advanced level operators for various industrial sectors, most notably in the petrochemical and energy streams.
Students enrolled in this program will train in Lambton College’s newly renovated Centre of Excellence in Energy & Bio-Industrial Technologies which contains complex lab and pilot plant facilities. The Centre duplicates a real-life manufacturing environment and the technologies developed can easily be scaled-up and transferred to an actual operating unit. The Centre offers state-of-practice technology laboratories and infrastructure to support learning and research in next-generation technologies in collaboration with industry.
Experiential learning is emphasized through the program’s unique co-op model, which is designed to support the employment needs of industry year-round. Additionally, students will participate in ongoing projects designed to cultivate teamwork, communication, interpersonal and problem solving skills that can be used in future workplace scenarios when analyzing operating problems in a plant environment.
Our program is committed to reinforcing the importance of safety and emergency preparedness while working in Industry. Our graduates may be required, or have the option, to participate as a member of a first response team in addition to their daily operational duties. We are proud of our partnership with the Lambton College Fire School which provides our students with hands-on fire training as part of our core curriculum. Lambton College is one of the first post-secondary schools in Ontario to include this essential training as part of a power engineering program.
The program prepares students to write the 4A and 4B TSSA 4th Class Operating Engineers Certification exams. This is an industry accepted certification that can lead graduates to a variety of career opportunities. Upon successful completion of the first three academic terms, students can apply to the TSSA to receive a nine-month steam time reduction towards their 4th Class Operating Engineers Certificate. TSSA registration eligibility requirements and fees are controlled by the TSSA and are in addition to the CPET program requirements and fees.
Lambton College Testing Centre [B1-107] is able to offer you an authorized space to complete your TSSA certification examinations.
This program is also available in an accelerated format for students with university degrees in related programs.
Please Note: Students must complete all core courses in academic terms 1-3 through traditional on-ground class delivery to be eligible for the nine-month steam time reduction towards their 4th Class certificate.
OACETT recognizes this program as meeting all the academic requirements for certification in the Certified Engineering Technology (CET) category. Students may be required to take certain courses in hybrid or online delivery mode during the program. This career has certain physical requirements.
