Get your diploma in electronics engineering

In the Electronics Engineering Technology program, you will learn the theory and practical skills needed to design and troubleshoot circuits, and to install, operate, and service electronic or data communications systems. You will take courses in electrical circuits, electronic fabrication, transmission theory, and programming fundamentals for electronic systems. You will also complete a 240-hour on-the-job placement.

Students complete a major project involving an electronic system of their choosing. The project includes designing the hardware and software, building a prototype, and testing. Recent projects include a robotic arm wirelessly controlled via Bluetooth, a 3D imaging system to automate the creation of models for 3D printing, radio frequency identification tags to automatically unlock and open doors and a Wi-Fi based water detection alarm with text messaging.

As a graduate, you will receive advanced standing toward the Aerospace Telecommunication and Information Systems program offered by the Canadian Forces. You are also eligible to receive a salary, benefits, and support to offset tuition and materials if you enroll through the Canadian Forces Non-Commissioned Member Subsidized Education plan.

This program is located in the Charlottetown Centre. 

Program Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of the program, graduates will be able to:

1. Analyze electrical and electronic drawings, layouts, and manufacturers’ documentation.
2. Demonstrate appropriate use of math and programming in a workplace environment.
3. Evaluate control systems, logic and digital circuits, embedded microprocessor-based and microcontroller-based systems, including assembly and high-level language programs.
4. Troubleshoot circuits by applying appropriate measurement techniques to circuits consisting of passive components, low power, high power, active and electromechanical components, digital and analog integrated circuits.
5. Apply relevant workplace practices in compliance with safety policies and current regulations.
6. Construct electronic systems through the design, build, and test stages including both hardware and software.
7. Create appropriate technical documents for electronic systems.
8. Demonstrate professional and personal skills that enhance job performance and well-being.

 Industry Recognition and Certifications

The Electronics Engineering Technology program is a CTAB (Canadian Technology Accreditation Board) nationally accredited program at the technologist level.

National program accreditation involves an independent team of certified professionals performing an extensive audit, which provides graduates and employers confidence the program meets the educational standards of Canada’s engineering technology and applied science profession.

Graduating from a nationally accredited program creates an expedited path to becoming a certified professional with provincial certifying bodies in Canada.

The Electronics Engineering Technology program is also an accredited program recognized by the International Engineering Alliance under the Sydney Accord
