Program details
Overview
Technologie du génie électrique : électronique programmable is a technical DEC that trains students to become electronics technologists specializing in developing, improving, and modifying devices built around programmable electronics, in areas such as robotics, home automation, embedded systems (for example in vehicles or robotic appliances), and connected objects. Teaching is organized around projects, supported by a teaching team the college describes as closely connected to the job market. Students learn to build, install, repair, and modify electronic circuits and systems, design and assemble printed circuits and prototypes, diagnose faults and locate defective components, and develop and fine-tune programs for programmable electronic circuits. The program is delivered through an Alternance travail-études (ATE) formula that includes paid work placements. Starting in fall 2026, newly admitted students will be required to have and use their own laptop computer under the college's "DEC portable" model. It suits students interested in electronics and programming who want hands-on, project-based training leading toward work designing, building, and troubleshooting programmable electronic systems.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Admission requires the Diplôme d'études secondaires (DES) plus one of the prerequisites on the programme's own conditions d'admission page: Technico-sciences or Sciences naturelles de 4e secondaire (TS 4e / SN 4e), or Culture, société et technique de 5e secondaire (CST 5e). Students missing it may instead be admitted to an upgrading ("mise à niveau") stream, and those with a DES from before 2010 are directed to SRAM's equivalency table. From fall 2026, newly admitted students must supply and use their own laptop. Québec and Canadian applicants apply exclusively through the Service régional d'admission du Montréal métropolitain (SRAM, admission.sram.qc.ca); for fall entry the first round closes March 1 (with possible second and third rounds), and for winter entry the first round closes November 1. International applicants must show the equivalent of eleven completed years of schooling, evaluated by the Ministère de l'Immigration, de la Francisation et de l'Intégration (MIFI) or by SRAM; the Cégep recommends the Bright test at level C1 (at least 4.0 on the CEFR scale), filed in the SRAM dossier. Applications go through SRAM's international-candidates section with card payment online; for fall entry the window opens March 15 of the prior year and closes March 14, and for winter entry it opens June 1 two years before and closes May 31 one year before.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRAM: for Fall 2027 entry the first-round deadline is 1 March 2027, with second and third rounds assessed while seats remain; for Winter 2027 entry SRAM opens 15 September 2026 with a first-round deadline of 1 November 2026. International applicants also apply through SRAM: the Fall 2027 file-completion deadline is 14 March 2027 (window opened 15 March 2026); the Winter international window for Winter 2027 entry already closed 31 May 2026, so the current one is for Winter 2028 entry, opening 1 June 2026 and closing 31 May 2027. Techniques de physiothérapie does not admit international students. Admission is not rolling beyond these SRAM rounds. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
