Centennial College's Electrical Engineering Technology program will ensure you gain a solid foundation in a range of electricity applications for many industry sectors.

In this engineering program, you'll have the opportunity, during in-class lessons and labs, to put theory into practice through real-life applications. This practical approach to learning will also use simulated workplace assignments to help you develop skills.

Upon completion of the advanced college diploma program, you'll be able to demonstrate an ability to design, adapt, analyze, troubleshoot, commission and install electrical systems as applied to electrical engineering. The range of functions you'll be able to complete as an electrical engineering technologist will serve to ensure safety and compliance with relevant codes and standard practices.

As a graduate of the Electrical Engineering Technology program, you'll be able to find work in various industries, such as energy (petroleum and electrical generation), process/manufacturing, construction/engineering, telecommunications, IT networks and intelligent building systems.

Please note: Some courses may be offered in an online/hybrid format.

In keeping with Ministry and the Ontario College of Trades standards, the program will deliver content that meets the requirements for Level 1 and Level 2 in-school Electrician apprenticeship (309A/442A) training.
