The Electromechanical Engineering Technician program will prepare graduates for the rapidly changing demands of the North American industrial environment. Today’s companies require employees with multidisciplinary expertise that combines electrical, mechanical and controls engineering skills, who can install, maintain, operate, modify and troubleshoot increasingly sophisticated and automated equipment. Robotics, controls and process automation are cornerstones of modern production facilities and automated systems. Our multidisciplined and hands-on approach to learning culminates in a capstone project in which students design and produce a complex, integrated, fully functional electromechanical system by applying their accumulated theoretical and practical knowledge. Students complement their technical skills with a focus on the soft skills needed for a successful career in industry and the skills necessary to add value to any team. Students will learn from faculty who are leaders, experienced in both the workplace and the teaching environment. The industry-relevant curriculum is hands-on in the college’s machine shops, electrical and industrial automation laboratories, process controls and robotics facilities to ensure that graduates can move quickly and directly into industry. *If you enrol in the program in January you are required to complete semester 2 in the summer (May to August) of the same year in order to continue into semester 3 in the fall.

As technology continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, graduates will be in high demand for their cross-disciplinary skills in all types of environments, including: automation and process control manufacturing and production assembly and packaging building and maintenance of automated systems power generation and transportation systems integration technical sales quality control and other related fields Some of the college’s industry partners, who have led the development of this program, come from sectors as diverse as automotive manufacturing, tunnelling and drilling, consumer packaging (including canning, bottling and imaging), food and beverage production, urban transit, power generation, and industrial equipment production and maintenance.
