Advanced Diploma in Electronics Engineering Technology (Co-op Optional) Humber Polytechnic - North Campus, Canada

Technology continues to make it easier for us to work, live and communicate with each other every day driven by innovations in the electronics industry. Electronics engineering technologists play a critical role in this industry contributing to the design, development, testing, production and maintenance of electronic systems and components.  

Humber’s advanced diploma in Electronics Engineering Technology will prepare you for career opportunities in a wide range of industry sectors and boasts one of the highest employability rates. This advanced diploma builds on the skills gained in the two-year technician diploma program through design- and project-based courses, technical capstone project, and exposure to electronic product development.

The program takes a system design and integration approach to electronic applications. You will gain a solid foundation and hands-on training in: 

• Analog and digital electronics, and fabrication
• Coding and embedded microcontrollers
• Industrial, scientific and medical instrumentation
• Signal acquisition and processing
• Photonics, fiber optics, microwave links and antennas
• RF communications and networking
• Control systems, automation and mechatronics
• Current application areas such as AI/Machine Learning, IoT, smart cities and edge computing

Emphasis is placed on practical hands-on learning through project- and challenge-based learning approaches, to help prepare students for entry into the workforce and promote life-long learning. We also provide opportunities for you to engage with various co-curricular activities to build your resume. This includes avenues such as applied research and interdisciplinary projects on emerging technologies in broadcast networks, printed/wearable electronics, IoT, AI/Machine Learning, and AR/VR systems.  

The program has been designed in collaboration with an advisory panel comprised of industry experts to ensure you are learning the most up-to-date and relevant skills. 

Work-Integrated Learning  
This program offers an optional co-operative education placement opportunity. Optional co-operative education placements enable you to apply your skills and knowledge in a work environment and gain valuable and practical experience related to your program of study. You will improve personal and technical skills while expanding your professional network. Upon acceptance into the program, students have the opportunity to engage in two consecutive four-month optional co-operative education placements between Semesters 4 and 5. As spaces for the co-op option are limited, the application process for this opportunity takes place during Semester 3. Detailed information about the application procedure will be provided at that time. While the availability of optional co-operative education placements is not guaranteed, participants will benefit from a comprehensive range of services aimed at assisting them in securing a co-op placement.
