Program description
The brains of the machines that make our daily goods and keep our environment and utilities operating smoothly are the control systems. Municipal waste and water utilities, assembly and manufacturing plants, building automation, medical simulation laboratories, research labs, etc., all need technicians and technologists. Each day brings new challenges and opportunities for problem-solving in the field of management systems. Change is constant in the realm of management systems. Graduates of technology programs are well-versed in the theory behind engineering design and device/system specification thanks to their familiarity with control systems, communications, computing, and technical project planning, etc.
Few Ontario institutions offer Instrumentation and Control Engineering Technology programs. Demand for these skills is significant and growing each year.
