Electromechanical Engineering Technology – Automation

About this programme

In this three-year advanced diploma program, you will learn how to design, program, test, troubleshoot and maintain automation, robotics and mechatronics systems. With an emphasis on automation and robotics, this program blends electronics and mechanical engineering and focuses on training engineering technologists. You will acquire industry-specific skills related to the use of electrical and mechanical CAD/CAM tools, market leading PLCs, CNCs, robots and connection of smart sensors via IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) to the Cloud. You will also learn how to use VR/AR simulation tools to achieve faster design, higher productivity and quality, and enhance safety in automated manufacturing. Classes and labs will be delivered in Seneca’s Centre for Innovation, Technology and Entrepreneurship (CITE). The following four programs have a common first semester, which allows you to transfer easily between programs before your second semester: Electronics Engineering Technician , Electronics Engineering Technology , Computer Engineering Technology and Electromechanical Engineering Technology – Automation . This program offers the option to complete a co-op work term, providing valuable hands-on experience in your field of study. If you are interested in completing a co-op work term, apply to the PROGRAMNAME program.​ If you select the co-op stream you will have the opportunity to participate in a co-op term(s) if eligibility requirements are maintained. You will have the flexibility to transfer to the non-co-op stream at any time. The co-op term(s) is typically a full-time p
