Students are provided with the theoretical knowledge and technical skills to enter the electrical workforce. Classroom learning is combined with extensive hands-on experience in well-equipped, modern labs. Students are introduced to power transmission and distribution and robotics as well as maintenance and troubleshooting techniques for industry, with a strong focus on health and safety.  Computer aided drafting, electronic and digital circuits, microprocessors, programming and programmable logic controllers are also studied.  Students gain valuable experience during a co-op work term, while developing industry contacts for possible post-graduation employment opportunities. 

 

If this doesn’t sound quite right for you, the Electrical Engineering Technology program might be more up your alley. It includes extra co-op time and advanced courses like Power Quality and Distribution, Advanced Programmable Logic Controllers and Electrical Protection and Control.
