Graduates of this program are able to meet the rapidly changing demands of industrial environments and advanced manufacturing industries through their ability to install, maintain, operate and troubleshoot increasingly sophisticated and automated equipment.
In the first two years, students gain experience with both power and control systems including electric motors, controls, PLCs, generators, transformers, electrical CAD and electrical safety code. In the third year, students continue with courses in advanced power and control systems including electrical installations, power transmission and distribution, power quality, electrical protection and control, project management, automation systems and control applications.
Graduating students perform technological functions related to:
- Power and control systems
- Energy
- Robotics & automation
- Manufacturing
- Processing
- Computer industries.
This work is primarily in support of research, technology installation, problem-solving, product development and design at a recognized technologist level.
