Electro Mechanical Engineering Technician Program In a Nutshell
After two short years in Centennial
College's Electro Mechanical Engineering Technician - Automation and
Robotics program, students receive their Ontario College Diploma and are
prepared to enter positions in manufacturing sectors that include:
automotive, food, pharmaceuticals, packaging, aircraft and
communications. In these areas, Electro-Mechanical Engineering
Technicians design and build, manufacture, offer application support,
test components, integrate systems, maintain and sell robots that are
used in assembly lines.
Here is a snapshot of this Automation robotics engineering technician offering:
- The Electro-Mechanical Engineering
Technician - Automation and Robotics program has met the national
technology accreditation requirements established by the Canadian
Council of Technicians and Technologists (CCTT) and, as such, has
received national accreditation status by the Canadian Technology
Accreditation Board (CTAB).
- The Ontario Association of Certified
Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT) recognizes the
Electro-Mechanical Engineering Technician - Automation and Robotics
program as meeting all the academic requirements for certification in
the Technician category.
- The application process requires you
to have completed at the very least an Ontario Secondary School Diploma
or equivalent or br19 years of age or older. Additional requirements
include: completion of the compulsory English 12C or U or skills
assessment or equivalent and Math 11M or U, or 12C or U or skills
assessment or equivalent.
- Students can graduate from Electro
Mechanical Engineering Technician in two years or continue for
additional study and co-op work experience in Centennial's three-year
Automation and Robotics Technology program.
- The two-year program offers a
networking opportunity through its strong on-campus Automation and
Robotics Student Society, which organizes events such as career nights
and industrial visits.
- Electro Mechanical Engineering
focuses on automated systems, which are at the heart of virtually all
advanced manufacturing industries.
- Practical hands-on laboratory
experience is a key component of this Electro Mechanical Engineering
program. Students learn in labs specifically designed to suit the
curriculum.
- Basic technology used in building
and operating automated industrial systems is covered, including
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), hydraulics, pneumatics,
electronics and robotics.
- Students gain hands-on experience
with all of the systems that are covered in the Electro Mechanical
Engineering Technician program.
- Among specific Electro Mechanical Engineering courses
are: Electric Circuits, Computer Aided Drafting, Hydraulic Systems,
Electronic Devices, Machine Shop, Pneumatic Circuits, Digital
Electronics and more.
- In addition to Electro Mechanical Engineering classes, students partake in other courses that are essential to their long-term success, including: Ethics in Technology and Environment, Technology Mathematics, Physics, Report Writing in a Technical Environment and more.
