电子工程技术人员协助电气/电子控制系统的设计，编程，制造和操作。他们对系统进行“设计”和“故障排除”，以确保有效的过程操作并执行系统编程功能。学生将获得工业自动化多个方面的技能和知识，包括基本的电气分析，工业布线，电机控制和自动化原理。学生还将学习设计安全的自动化系统和系统，以消除操作员的重复劳动，从而生产出优质的产品。该计划将吸引在物理科学和数学方面具有深厚背景的学生。学生应该是积极进取的问题解决者，具有良好的沟通和人际交往能力。
Electronic engineering technologists assist in the design, programming, manufacture, and operation of electrical/electronic control systems. They design and troubleshoot systems to ensure efficient process operations and perform system programming functions. Students will gain skills and knowledge across multiple aspects of industrial automation including fundamental electrical analysis, industrial wiring, motor control, and automation principles. Students will also learn to design automation and systems that are safe to operate, eliminate repetitive operator work, in order to manufacture quality products. This program will appeal to students with a strong background in the physical sciences and math. Students should be highly motivated problem solvers with good communication and interpersonal skills. Electronics Engineering Technologists, specifically specialists in the field of industrial automation and controls, are in high demand. Manufacturing and technology companies are increasingly investing in automation and robotics to be competitive in the global market place, pointing to a continuing demand in this field. Our graduates are needed to design, program and support these automation systems. In addition, the program offers diverse opportunities as control designers, control specialists, process planners, programmers and product designers, with manufacturers and users of electrical and electronic equipment.
