With the Sheridan Electromechanical Engineering Technician/Technology diploma program, students develop highly marketable skills for the technology and manufacturing sectors. Sheridan provides outstanding hands-on laboratory opportunities, where you'll work directly with automated systems and cutting-edge mechatronic applications - the same technology used in the electromechanical engineering professions.
En route to your Electromechanical Engineering Technician/Technology diploma or advanced diploma, you'll take courses in subjects such as:
- Materials, testing and quality standards
- Robotics and programmable logic controllers (PLC)
- Plant layout, safety and HVAC
- Process control and integration
- Energy systems
You'll also gain working knowledge of current electromechanical engineering software, such as CATIA and the PLC/SCADA design and control packages, while acquiring the industry-specific skills you need to launch an electromechanical engineering career.
Career Options
You can graduate in just two years with an electromechanical engineering technician technology diploma and go directly into the work force. The three-year program confers an electromechanical engineering technology credential and includes the opportunity to apply for a paid co-op work placement. Co-op enrolment is limited through a special selection process (see Cooperative Education for details).
The Electromechanical 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.
The Electromechanical Engineering Technician/Technology Program is held at the Davis Campus in Brampton, Ontario.
Sheridan Electromechanical Engineering Technician/Technology Program graduates frequently continue their education at the university level, obtaining an undergraduate degree in Engineering or Technology.
Graduates who go into the workforce are qualified to design, install, supervise, maintain and service complex electromechanical systems. There is high demand for electromechanical engineering technicians and technologists in many sectors of industry and commerce. Recent graduates have found employment in such areas as:
- Computer-assisted manufacturing
- Process control
- Environmental control
- Automotive
- Food and beverage
- Textile
- Petrochemical
- Pharmaceuticals
PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY
Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent, including these required courses:
- One English, Grade 12 (ENG4C or ENG4U)
plus
- Grade 12 Mathematics for College Technology (MCT4C) or Grade 11 Functions (MCF3M) or Grade 11 Functions and Relations (MCR3U) or any Grade 12 (U) mathematics
or
Mature student status. (See "Admissions" section for details.)
Applicants who do not meet the admission requirements will be invited to complete pre-admission tests in mathematics and English. Applicants asked to take the test are considered for admission to Term 1 contingent on receiving a minimum grade of 60% in both the pre-admission mathematics/English tests.
Applicants who are lacking the mathematics admission requirements for this program may be able to be admitted into this program with additional courses completed in their first year at Sheridan. There may be additional cost involved depending on the program.
Applicant Selection
Eligible applicants will be selected on the basis of their previous academic achievement (the average of their six highest senior-level credits, including required courses), and/or results of pre-admission testing.
Applicants who do not meet the admission requirements for this program will be assessed and advised individually and may be considered for other, related programs.
