Our Electrical Engineering Technology advanced diploma program comprises a 3-year education with an optional 16-month co-op.
This program is designed to meet the needs of highly skilled technologists in the ever-expanding Electricity Sector.

There is an emphasis on effective techniques for designing, installing, modifying, testing, maintaining, repairing, and troubleshooting equipment. You will learn these design and analysis skills on our modern campus through in-class theory, hands-on labs, and a capstone project.
Once you graduate, you can apply for a career in Electrical Design (utility, consultant, manufacturing), System Integration (automation), System Operator (utility), SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), Field Service, Estimating, Project Management, and Technical Sales.
As a graduate, you will meet the academic requirements to become a Certified Engineering Technologist (C.E.T.) by OACETT. You will also have a pathway to the Bachelor of Engineering - Power Systems Engineering (PSE) program.

Co-op information
- Co-op programs add value to your education. Earn money while you apply what you've learned in a real workplace environment. Visit Co-operative education for more information.
- The College cannot guarantee co-op employment. All co-op students are required to conduct an independent co-op job search in addition to the supports and services provided by the Department of Co-op Education.
- Students are responsible for their own transportation and associated costs in order to complete work term requirements. Work locations may not always be readily accessible by public transportation.
- In order to participate in a WIL experience/Co-op work term, students must be legally eligible to work in Canada.
Applying to the co-op stream
- All applicants apply to the non co-op program. Students will be informed of the application deadline and process to apply for the Co-op Stream. Labour market conditions determine the number of co-op seats in optional co-op programs. Not every student who meets academic eligibility requirements will be admitted to the co-op stream.
- To be considered for admission to the co-op stream, students are required to achieve a minimum 75% session weighted average and no failed or dropped courses during the term that occurs two terms prior to the co-op work term.
- International students will require work permits to utilize the co-op job board for job search and to accept employment. Students are currently experiencing longer than usual wait times for work permits. Please be advised that there will be no co-op program service fee refunds after the program withdrawal for refund date. Students that have not received their work permit and choose to remain in co-op after the program withdrawal for refund date do so at their own risk and will not be refunded. If you are concerned about receiving your work permit in time to achieve co-op employment, please discuss your situation with your co-op advisor as early as possible.
