Program details
Overview
Technologie du génie électrique, option automatisation et contrôle, is a three-year, full-time technical DEC at the main Salaberry-de-Valleyfield campus, with fall and winter intakes. According to the page, the program develops competencies across three areas of expertise: robotics and automation, electricity, and instrumentation and control, preparing graduates to work with automated systems, industrial robots, electrical installations, and process-control equipment. Training is described as project-based, with specialized coursework in robotics and positioning, automation, electricity, and instrumentation and control. The program offers an optional alternance travail-études (paid work-study) formula and maintains close collaboration with regional employers, including industrial visits to electrical utility companies, electrical and electronic equipment manufacturers, and technical consulting firms. Students may take part in the Olympiades québécoises and Olympiades canadiennes des métiers et des technologies skills competitions, and the page states that more than five thousand dollars in scholarships for excellence, mutual support, self-improvement, and technical skill are distributed annually by partners and community organizations. It suits students interested in industrial automation, robotics, or electrical systems work with a hands-on, project-driven learning style.

Application Details
Start Date:Automne et hiver
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply through SRAM: the college's most recently published Fall cycle (Fall 2026) opened 13 January 2026 with a first-round deadline of 1 March 2026, 23:59, and the same 1 March pattern is expected to recur for Fall 2027; Winter 2027 entry opens mid-September 2026 with a first-round deadline of 1 November 2026, 23:59. Valleyfield publishes no fixed international application dates: for the 2026-2027 and 2027-2028 cycles it accepts only international applicants already living in Quebec who completed part of their secondary or vocational studies there, so the general SRAM international calendar does not apply. Admission for domestic applicants is not rolling beyond SRAM's rounds. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
