Overview
²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù is temporarily suspending a new intake of this program for the 2025 / 2026 Academic Year. The program is still running for all in-progress students. This program may be reinstated in a future Academic Year.
Your future is connected to the lifelines of our industries. And we think that’s very cool!
The Electrical Engineering Technician – Process Automation program provides practical knowledge of electricity and electronics.
As a graduate of the technician program, you will be able to install, test, modify, troubleshoot, and repair electrical systems. Not only that, but you’ll also be able to evaluate, analyze, design, and develop those same systems!
Our state-of-the-art Electrical Engineering labs boast the latest equipment including Rockwell PLC 5000’s, ABB Robots, Rockwell Powerflex DC Drives and so much more!
Plus, learn from and gain valuable insights from experienced instructors who have worked in many industrial settings (we kind of think of them as mentors).
From today to apprenticeship to a fulfilling career – it starts at ²»Á¼Ñо¿Ëù!
