Beyond the technician level training, computer engineering technologists add analysis, design, project management and enhanced applied technology skills. You'll apply this knowledge to the analysis and design of complex computer systems and networks. You will also develop more self-sufficiency and better critical thinking skills. You'll have open access beyond classroom time to our lab facilities - time to explore and learn, hands-on. Your ability to work effectively as a member of a technical team will also be further developed through course studies and a full-semester team-based project. Course work includes preparation for industry certification exams such as A+ and Cisco Networking. This program has recently received National Accreditation with the Canadian Technology Accreditation Board. Graduates are recognized by the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT) as meeting all the academic requirements for certification in the Certified Engineering Technologist (CET) category.

Graduates of this program have found positions as members of research and development teams composed of engineers, technologists, and technicians. In addition, many have found positions as field service or customer representatives for equipment suppliers. Because of their more comprehensive education, graduates often eventually assume administrative responsibilities within their organizations. Your broad-based, transferrable skills will be to your benefit. For example, Robert Half Technology, the leading resource on IT hiring and employment trends, reports in its recent Salary Guide that the long-range outlook for IT professionals is strong, and technology's hottest jobs include network systems and data communications analysts, network and computer systems administrators, and computer systems analysts. Sample job titles include: embedded software developer computer operations supervisor computer systems analyst server administrator network administrator LAN manager
