The Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology Automation and Instrumentation Option is a two-year, full-time diploma delivered in person at BCIT, with intakes in September and January and an optional paid co-op component. Building on the program's common first year, students study control strategies, measurement techniques, communications systems, and the electronic and computer systems used to automate commercial and industrial equipment. Students develop practical skills working with industrial equipment in dedicated labs, gaining a foundation in automatic measurement and control systems. Graduates may pursue careers designing and maintaining systems that measure and control processes across industries such as manufacturing, material handling, and building automation, or apply to continue into BCIT's Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering, or obtain a dual diploma in another Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology option.
