Program Description

As everyone's dependence on electricity grows, so too does the demand for skilled electrical workers. Electrical Engineering Techniques students are introduced to electrical principles and building construction wiring while technician students advance into industrial automation and PLC programming, preparing for tomorrow's trends in next-generation robotics.

Students will get practical, real-life training in a supportive learning environment that nurtures one-on-one relationships with instructors:
  • The first year provides a working understanding of electricity and electronics, as well as the fundamental skills needed in electrical construction and automation.
  • Develop skills in electrical installation, motor control and the basics of industrial processes — including Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), fluid power and process control.
  • Hands-on work with actual PLCs in their first year, not just simulation software.
  • Students gain a solid understanding of the Ontario Electrical Safety Code.
  • A second year of study delivers skills required in installing, configuring, maintaining and calibrating industrial control systems, including industrial robotic and automated production systems.
  • Students can apply their knowledge to extracurricular projects, such as building a racecar simulator arcade game using only automation equipment and software.
