Program Overview

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

This online distance program is only available to study while remaining in your home country and does not qualify for study/work permit eligibility in Canada.

Complete this comprehensive Robotics Technician training program using an interactive learning package. This certificate program introduces the concepts of industrial robots and explains how they are used in a plant or manufacturing system. The primary focus of the program is on automated manufacturing processes, as well as the role of robots and their support equipment. Receive instruction in both theoretical concepts and laboratory exercises using a combination of multimedia learning resources and a robotics simulation software package.

FULL DESCRIPTION

INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

This online distance program is only available to study while remaining in your home country and does not qualify for study/work permit eligibility in Canada.

The primary focus of the program is on automated manufacturing processes, as well as the role of robots and their support equipment. Learn to program, test and debug robot programs.

Areas of study include:

• motion programming
• palletizing
• conveyor systems
• computer networking
• automated sorting systems
• vision and tactile sensors
• computer integration

This Distance Education program provides you with an easy-to-use, home-study approach that requires only a personal computer and an Internet connection; you do not need expensive books or lab equipment. The robotics simulation software essentially converts your computer into a virtual industrial robot, complete with a three-dimensional learning environment that includes manufacturing plants and control systems.

The learning materials, provided in a web-based downloadable file format, with 14 courses (modules) contain text, audio, 2D and 3D animations, computer-based testing and RoboLogix simulation software.

You may enrol in the program at any time (open enrolment). Complete each module (course) in your own time. The typical completion time is 28 weeks, but there are no time limits (and previous electronics and/or robotics/automation experience and education may reduce that time significantly).

PREREQUISITES

Ontario Secondary School Diploma (with credits at or above the general level) or equivalent or mature student status. An electronics background is helpful but not essential.
