Program details

Overview

Technologie du génie électrique: automatisation et contrôle (243.D0) is a technical Diploma of College Studies (DEC) at Cégep de Sept-Îles focused on industrial automation. The curriculum is organized around five areas: automation and instrumentation, robotics, electrotechnics, electronics, and supporting coursework, with an emphasis on verifying, troubleshooting, repairing, and installing electrical systems used in production, transport, and distribution. The program follows an alternance travail-études structure with two paid internships built into the schedule, and training takes place in labs equipped for Industry 4.0-oriented instruction. General education courses can be taken in English as an option. It suits students who enjoy analyzing how equipment functions, have manual dexterity and logical reasoning skills, and are interested in the region's resource-based industries — aluminum, mining, forestry, and energy — where much of the program's practical training and industry contact is oriented, or in continuing to university-level engineering. The program combines technical coursework with substantial workplace-based learning rather than a purely classroom-based structure.
