Program description
This three-year advanced diploma program provides a comprehensive education in contemporary technology, software engineering, and communication and control systems. Digital communications, control systems, and mechatronics are some of the other topics addressed alongside electronic circuitry, diagnostic techniques, microcontrollers, process control, and computer systems and networks. In the final year, you'll put your knowledge to use by designing and testing real-world electronic tasks.
This curriculum emphasizes both theoretical foundations and hands-on experience. Our well-equipped laboratories allow you to put your theoretical knowledge to use in a practical setting.
Many well-known businesses, such as Seimens and Exfo, have contributed to this curriculum so that students can acquire the practical experience and theoretical grounding necessary to launch a successful job in the field.
