Program details
Overview
Technologie du génie électrique : automatisation et contrôle is a technical DEC (243.D0) at Cégep André-Laurendeau focused on industrial automation. The program builds skills in installing, maintaining, programming, designing, and troubleshooting automation equipment, process controllers, robotic systems, and intelligent sensors and actuators, alongside a grounding in electricity, wiring, programmable controllers, and electronics for production environments. The page describes a hands-on structure with more laboratory hours than classroom hours from the first year, using equipment such as assembly lines, virtual factories, industrial robots, and industrial-vision systems, and notes the program is offered in an alternance travail-études format. Students can take part in an annual project exhibition with excellence awards and in provincial and national skilled-trades olympiads. A DEP-DEC bridge recognizes a year of specific training for holders of a DEP in Électricité, Électricité d'entretien, or Électromécanique de systèmes automatisés, with personalized support for any remaining prerequisites. Graduates work in production, processing, and service industries such as hydroelectricity and renewable energy, food processing, pharmaceuticals and biomedical equipment, building automation, transportation and aerospace, and engineering consulting, and the DEC gives access without added prerequisites to several engineering certificate and degree programs at ÉTS and Université de Sherbrooke, with other engineering programs open subject to additional science prerequisites. It suits students interested in industrial electrical systems and automated production.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Prerequisites (préalables), exactly as published on the program's own page: DES plus one course from each of two groups: mathematics (TS 4e, or SN 4e, or CST 5e, or Mathématiques 436) and science (ST 4e + STE, or ATS 4e + SE, or Sciences physiques 436). Personalized support is offered to help students meet the prerequisites where needed, including a remedial STE-4e course for Tremplin DEC students. No minimum grade, interview, portfolio, or language test beyond the general Quebec-college process is stated on the program page. Admission follows the college's general process: apply online through the Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain (SRAM) at admission.sram.qc.ca, which handles admission for every Montreal-area Cégep, with the college making the final decision. First-round deadlines are 1 March for Fall (applications open mid-January) and 1 November for Winter (applications open mid-September); where more qualified applicants apply than there are seats, the Cote R (R-score), based on cumulative average, ministerial-exam results and program prerequisites, ranks candidates.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRAM: Fall 2027 entry opens mid-January 2027 with a first-round deadline of 1 March 2027; Winter 2027 entry opens mid-September 2026 (SRAM: 15 September 2026) with a deadline of 1 November 2026. International applicants also use SRAM: the Fall 2027 deadline is 14 March 2027; the Winter 2027 international window already closed 31 May 2026, so the live one is Winter 2028 entry, closing 31 May 2027. Only a handful of technical programmes (Soins infirmiers, Techniques d'éducation à l'enfance, Techniques de travail social, Gestion des opérations et de la chaîne logistique, and one more) admit international students. Admission is not rolling beyond SRAM's rounds. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
