Advanced College Diploma - Electronics Engineering Technology (0098) (Optional Co-op)

Program Description

Available intakes: January & September

Graduates from the Electronics Engineering Technology programs work with electronic, computer and communications equipment and systems. They are technical experts and problem solvers. Many of Conestoga graduates report that they enjoy the creative aspects of the job and seeing projects come to life. This program's first year is the same as the first year of the Computer/Telecommunications Engineering Technician/Technology programs. At the end of first year, students may switch programs if they desire.

Graduates of the Electronics Engineering Technology - Telecommunications program are able to design, build, test and repair a communications system or any part of one. Their very strong electronics knowledge and skills enable them to take on many roles in industry. They have particular strength in digital signal processing, as well as with circuits operating at microwave frequencies. Since embedded computer chips can replace electronic components, graduates are able to implement a given circuit function either in software or with physical parts. Graduates have a strong mathematical background and interpersonal communication skills. Since the program is approximately half lab work and half theory, graduates have a particular advantage in the practical implementation of systems, software and circuits.
