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. Electronics Engineering Technology - Biomedical: The Electronics Engineering Technology - Biomedical program is a biomedical engineering technology program with a strong foundation in electronics. Students enrolled in this program also receive training in the areas of biomedical instrumentation, microprocessor applications in the health care setting, anatomy and physiology, chemistry, biochemistry, health care and safety. Graduates of this program are part of an integrated health care team who install and maintain this equipment as well as their supporting computer systems. Graduates also assist other health care professionals in the optimization of equipment usage. As engineering technologists, graduates of this program will have the knowledge and skill that will allow him/her to: • Employ specialized biomedical test instrumentation including patient parameter simulators and analyzers, pressure and flow measurement devices, electrosurgical analyzers and electrical safety analyzers. • Troubleshoot, maintain, and calibrate complex, electro-medical equipment utilizing industry recognized techniques and protocols. • Demonstrate proficiency in the safe operation of electro-medical devices including patient care monitoring systems, defibrillators, electro-surgery units, diagnostic medical imaging systems, clinical laboratory instrumentation, dialysis delivery systems, respiratory care devices and other diagnostic, therapeutic and patient care instruments. • Modify, design, and construct medical electronic devices through the application of electronic and patient data acquisition principles. • Apply an engineering approach to problem solving with respect to medical equipment systems, to enable the graduate to readily upgrade their knowledge and skills. • Demonstrate an awareness of and concern for patient and staff safety in the health care environment. • Maintain and operate Linux-based instrumentation within a wireless networking environment.

Note: Students will spend their first two semesters at Carbonear 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.
