Sheridan's Electronics Engineering Technician/Technology Program has a nearly perfect job-placement rate. Employers know that our Electronics Engineering graduates enter the workforce with the theoretical knowledge and practical skills to be productive from their first day on the job. Through hands-on experiments and project-based assignments in our open-concept electronics engineering laboratories, you'll learn to think creatively, solve problems and collaborate effectively on multidisciplinary teams.
Sheridan stays current with the latest technology, so you'll work directly with the same equipment and techniques you'll encounter in the electronics engineering industry. You'll gain first-hand experience with:
- Power and energy systems
- Signal processing
- Computer simulation
- Digital communications
- Printed circuits
- Control systems
Advanced Work and Learning Opportunities
Students can graduate after two years with an Electronics Engineering Technician diploma, or continue for an optional third year to pursue a Technology advanced diploma. If you do opt for the third year, you'll have the opportunity to apply for a paid, co-op work placement in electronics engineering that enables you to earn while you learn. (Enrolment is limited through a special co-op application process; see Cooperative Education for details.)
All students in this program work on laptop computers and have round-the-clock online access to lecture notes and other subject material. You can work on projects outside of class time, collaborate on group projects from home, and spend extra time studying and mastering the material. See Mobile Computing for details.
The Electronics Engineering Technician/Technology Program is nationally accredited by the Canadian Technology Accreditation Board. Graduates have completed all the academic requirements for professional certification with the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT). Additional requirements for certification exist and are established by OACETT.
Electronics Engineering Technician/Technology courses are held at the Davis Campus in Brampton, Ontario.
Sheridan Electronics Engineering Technician/Technology graduates have a very high job-placement rate. They regularly develop careers in areas such as:
- Research
- Design and development
- Manufacturing
- Quality control and testing
- Telecommunications
- Computer application development
- Customer support and sales
- Digital audio and video
- Internet and intranet services
- Power and energy systems
Sheridan Electronics Engineering Technician/Technology Program graduates frequently develop their own businesses or serve as freelance consultants.
