Engineering Technology: The college offers a common first year in Engineering Technology. This allows students to complete the first two semesters of the engineering technology program that they have been accepted to. After completing the first two semesters, students must enter the campus which offers the program of their choice to complete the seven week Intersession (May, June), and the subsequent years of their program. Electrical Engineering Technology - Power and Controls: This program provides a comprehensive coverage of the electrical power discipline with emphasis on power systems, control systems and electrical design. The theoretical aspects of this program are complemented by extensive practical components that allow students to gain invaluable experience with installation, operation and maintenance practices. This is further supplemented with real-world experience provided by two work terms. Upon successful completion of the Electrical Engineering Technology (Power & Controls) Co-op program the graduate will be able to: • Evaluate, design and specify facility electrical systems such as power, lighting, heating, control and protection. • Design and specify electrical generation, transmission and distribution systems. • Design, test, analyze and commission industrial electrical power control systems. • Coordinate, plan, direct and interface with other electrical industry professionals as part of a technical support team. • Analyze, configure and assist in the electrical design of control systems in commercial and industrial applications employing Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC). • Design and specify electrical systems found in electrical utilities and industrial plants. • Maintain and troubleshoot electrical equipment such as motors, generators, transformers, protection and control devices. • Employ the use of power electronic circuits in the electrical design of commercial and industrial systems utilized by the electrical power industry. • Apply knowledge of current applicable codes, practices and safety standards.

Note: Students will spend their first two semesters at Burin campus before transferring to Ridge Road campus to complete the rest of their degree. This program may not be suitable for applicants who do not have normal colour perception.
