Program details
Overview
This technical Diplôme d'études collégiales (DEC) in Electrical Engineering Technology, specializing in Automation and Control, at Cégep de Jonquière prepares technologists to work with the equipment used to produce, transmit, distribute, and control electrical energy. Over three years, students study electrical circuits and single- and three-phase systems, automation logic, robotics, pneumatic and hydraulic systems, industrial machines, energy conversion, and industrial networking and control systems. Training combines classroom instruction with hands-on laboratory work in recently renovated facilities that include a scaled mini-factory, collaborative robotic arms, and an on-site wind turbine and solar panels used for applied projects. Site visits to industrial facilities complement the lab-based learning, and a mandatory industrial internship in the final semester gives students direct workplace experience. The program suits students interested in industrial electrical systems and automation, and admission requires secondary-level mathematics and environmental-science coursework. Graduates typically work as automation programmers, maintenance technicians, system integrators, or estimators in manufacturing, utilities, and industrial-processing sectors, and some pursue further studies in electrical or computer engineering at university.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires Cégep de Jonquière's general conditions — a Quebec DES or equivalent, or a DEP plus completed Secondary V French and Secondary V second language, or training the college judges equivalent, with overall academic record quality also weighed — set out on the institution's admission page. The Génie électrique: automatisation et contrôle programme adds its own science prerequisites: for diplomas earned after June 2010, Mathématique Technico-sciences or Sciences naturelles (Secondary IV) or Culture, société et technique (Secondary V), plus Sciences et technologie de l'environnement or Sciences de l'environnement (Secondary IV); for diplomas from before June 2010, Math 436 and Sciences physiques 436. Neither the programme page nor the college's general admission page states a minimum grade average, an English-language test, a portfolio or an interview.
