Program details

Overview

This two-year diploma focuses on automated systems used across manufacturing and other industries, covering robotics, programmable logic controllers, hydraulics, pneumatics, electricity and electronics, with classroom theory paired with hands-on laboratory work. Graduates may continue into the related three-year Automation and Robotics Technology programme with its co-op option; doing so requires completing differential and integral calculus coursework before the fifth semester. Some courses may be delivered online or in hybrid format.
