Program details
Overview
This technical Diplôme d'études collégiales (DEC) in Electrical Engineering Technology, specializing in Automation and Control, at Cégep de Matane runs over three years and six semesters and prepares technologists to work with electrical and automated industrial systems. Coursework covers circuit analysis and electronic components, programmable logic controllers and automation sequencing, industrial motors and electrodynamics, robotics programming and integration, instrumentation and process control, electrical installation design and code compliance, and industrial networking within an Industry 4.0 context, along with troubleshooting and preventive maintenance. Training combines classroom theory with hands-on laboratory work, including a dedicated robotics lab, and features industrial site visits alongside a mandatory internship in the final semester. The program suits students interested in industrial electrical systems and automation. Graduates typically work as electrical technologists in automation and control, industrial-electronics technicians, technical representatives, or industrial designers across manufacturing, energy, primary industries, and healthcare-equipment sectors, and some continue toward bachelor's degrees in electrical or computer engineering, or engineering technology, at universities such as Laval, UQAR, and Université de Sherbrooke.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Technologie du genie electrique: automatisation et controle (243.D0) is built on Cegep de Matane's general collegial admission conditions (a Quebec DES, an equivalent DEP with the required French, English and mathematics units, or equivalent training/experience) plus two secondary-4 prerequisites: mathematique TS or SN de 4e secondaire (or CST de 5e secondaire), and the science pairing Science et technologie (055-444) with Science et technologie de l'environnement (058-404), or Applications technologiques et scientifiques (057-416) with Science et environnement (058-402). Applicants missing a prerequisite are not excluded outright; the college proposes a path to complete it after enrolment. International applicants need a recognised eleventh-year credential, such as a completed Premiere in France, with a minimum grade of 10 in secondary mathematics and science; partner-school BTS/BUT students in electrical engineering may qualify for mobility or joint-diploma projects. No minimum grade or average, language test score, portfolio, or interview is otherwise stated.
