Bachelor of Technology (Electronics Engineering Technology)
Global competition and the unparalleled speed at which new products are developed have greatly increased the need for highly productive and adaptive engineering technologists. Electronics specialists are at the heart of many of today’s rapidly evolving technologies, applying their expertise in diverse areas such as power generation, telecommunications, wireless, computer networking, the Internet, transportation, entertainment, medicine and space exploration.
To meet this need, the School of Engineering Technology and Computing’s Electronics Engineering Technology program (degree and diploma) blend theoretical concepts with practical lab work, resulting in graduates who are well grounded in current technology and in electronics principles and applications. Degree graduates further develop their critical thinking, research and communications skills. These competencies, along with additional technical courses and higher-level practicum, prepare the School of Engineering Technology and Computing degree graduates to begin productive and exciting careers.
Responsibilities of Electronics Engineering Technologists
Graduates use their technical and practical proficiency to implement and extend current technology, and may develop prototype products, optimize designs or manage system operations. These electronics professionals take a hands-on approach to applying engineering methods and principles, and are typically called on to perform test engineering and evaluation activities, as well as to provide manufacturing support and quality assurance. They often guide concepts developed by senior electronics engineers through the stages needed to become actual products or services.
With a strong emphasis on practical, “hands-on” skills, School of Engineering Technology and Computing diploma graduates have been the first choice for technology focused corporations for over 75 years.
Accreditation
The School of Engineering Technology and Computing’s engineering technology programs are fully accredited by both the Canadian Technology Accreditation Board (CTAB) and the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT).
RCC degree programs are offered under the written consent of the Minister of Training, Colleges and Universities for the period from 12/10/2004 to 12/10/2009. Prospective students are responsible for satisfying themselves that the programs and the degrees will be appropriate to their needs ( e.g. acceptable to potential employers, professional licensing bodies, or other educational institution). RCC Institute of Technology is approved by and operates in the province of Ontario.
