Program Overview

As an industrial automation technician you will design, install, and maintain electronics equipment used in modern industrial processes. You will work on a wide range of systems, from the simplest fuses and motors to sophisticated electronic computer interface boards, motor drives, programmable logic controllers, solid-state devices and robotics.

You will take three courses in instrumentation and process control, two courses in programmable logic controllers, two courses in electrical power and power electronics and one course in each of AutoCAD, industrial control of chemical processes, fluid power and data acquisition. Each course uses state-of-the-art technology and equipment, including industrial robots. An intensive hands-on lab program is supplemented with industry-relevant field trips.

You will be introduced to the types of specialty equipment typically used in the industrial automation industry. These include instrumentation and process control systems, programmable logic controllers (PLCs) of all types, variable frequency drives or inverter drives, human machine interfaces (HMIs), fluid systems including hydraulic and pneumatic positioners and drives, robotics and controls and microprocessor-operated equipment of many different types. Computers are used to interface with all of these systems and equipment.

You will accumulate 700 hours of hands-on lab time in the first year core program and 700 hours during the second year of the program, for a total of 1,400 hours of practical training upon completion. In some provinces, this time credit can be applied toward your apprenticeship.

If you hold a Red Seal in an electrical trade, you may be eligible to enter this program through an alternative route. This involves an assessment of your prior learning from your apprenticeship and recommendations for any studies needed. Contact the instructor for further information.
