Innovation is the rule in computer engineering technology, and it's the hallmark of the computer engineering diploma program at Sheridan. We provide hands-on experience and a problem-solving approach to computer engineering technology, teaching students to find creative, outside-the-box solutions to real-world computer engineering problems. You'll develop high-level programming and computer engineering skills that translate directly to the workplace and are in high demand among employers. During second year Technology students can apply to join paid co-op work terms. Three terms will qualify students for a co-op Technology diploma. Fundamental Principles to Advanced Concepts Sheridan's Computer Engineering program places more emphasis on fundamental math and engineering principles than most computer engineering colleges. Second- and third-year courses focus on advanced computer engineering concepts, ranging from software development to embedded systems design. You'll learn to: Design, implement, and maintain the architecture for computer systems and networks. Create process control, data acquisition and data management solutions. Integrate networking technologies with information systems. Work with micro-controllers, wireless systems and other consumer-product technologies. Design and manage information servers. The three paid co-op work terms occur in the second and third year. A separate application process is required. Professional Affiliations and More Graduates have completed all the academic requirements for professional certification with the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT). Additional requirements for certification exist and are established by OACETT. Sheridan's Computer Engineering program employs mobile computing, so you'll have 24/7 access to lecture notes and other subject material, on campus and off. After graduation, students can apply for entry to Sheridan's Bachelor of Applied Information Sciences (BAISc) (Information Systems Security) program after completing a bridging program. Computer Engineering Technician/Technology courses are held at the Davis Campus in Brampton, Ontario.

Computer engineering technology skills are extremely marketable across many industries. Sheridan graduates are particularly well qualified for jobs that involve programmable controllers, data acquisition systems, embedded controllers and electronic instrumentation. However, they may find employment opportunities wherever a technologist is required with multiple skills in programming and hardware integration. Graduates may obtain employment as: Embedded systems designers Network analysts and/or network installers Systems analysts Network designers Software specialists Product development specialists Programmers iPhone application development With experience, graduates may move into management and supervisory positions.
