Diploma in Electrical Engineering Technology (Co-op Optional)

Program Overview

This program trains you for entry-level employment as an engineering technologist in the electrical industry, which provides a broad range of employment opportunities. You develop the conceptual knowledge base and troubleshooting skills to prepare you for a range of roles that include design, installation, maintenance, production, and technical sales and support.

Topics in the program include

  • Use and application of programmable logic controllers (PLCs), variable frequency motor drives (VFDs), soft starters, and data communication to link all of the preceding elements for the control of manufacturing systems.
  • Planning, designing, and specifications of power systems with motor protection for buildings and industrial plants. You will generate AutoCAD drawings, calculate short circuit currents, and coordinate fuses, circuit breakers, and protective relays. Canadian Electrical Code instruction is delivered by journeyman electricians.
  • Hydro electric power generation, transmission, and distribution systems with a view to operation, control, and protection.
  • Assessment of power system harmonics concerns by measuring TDD and THD and offering solutions to improve performance.

Co-op/Practicum Information

  • Co-operative education integrates classroom theory with related on-the-job-training by alternating terms of academic study and employment.
  • This program offers a co-operative education stream to give you direct industry experience, introduce your abilities to local employers, and help finance your schooling.
