Overview
Electrical Engineering Technology (Power & Controls) Co-op at College of the North Atlantic is a three-year diploma emphasizing power systems, control systems, and electrical design. Coursework spans DC and AC circuits, electrical machines, transformers, programmable logic controllers, motor control systems, power systems analysis, and renewable energy integration. The nine-semester program includes two co-op work terms, placed in semesters six and eight, along with an applied research capstone project in the third year. Delivery is on-campus at the Ridge Road campus. The program suits students seeking specialized training in electrical power and industrial control systems, distinct from a broader electrical or electronics technology stream, and who want paid work-term experience built into the schedule. Graduates are prepared for roles such as electrical engineering technologist, electrical facilities or maintenance specialist, electrical designer, and electrical CAD specialist. Employment opportunities span production plants, oil and gas exploration and production companies, refineries, offshore servicing companies, power utilities, and pulp and paper mills, reflecting the program's focus on industrial power and control applications.
Requirements

Admission Requirements: Direct entry requires a High School Graduation Certificate with a 60% overall average, including English 3201 (60% minimum), Mathematics at Advanced 2200/3200 (50% minimum each) or Academic 2201 (50%)/3201 (60%), and four Science credits at 50% minimum from the programme's approved list; College Transition, Adult Basic Education (Level III) Degree and Technical Profile, and mature-student routes are also accepted. English proficiency is not set at programme level and instead follows CNA's institution-wide requirement: IELTS Academic overall band 6.0, TOEFL iBT 79, PTE Academic 53, or Duolingo 105-110, waived after three years of English-medium schooling. No interview or portfolio is required.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:College of the North Atlantic accepts domestic applications on a rolling, first-come basis with no fixed opening or closing date published for any intake; the college states applications for a program remain open until it is filled, which for competitive programmes such as Practical Nursing can mean the intake closes before the term starts. International applicants apply directly to CNA; for the Fall 2026 intake the college published a closing date of 30 April 2026 (with late applications from students already holding a study permit still considered), but no equivalent Fall 2027 or Winter 2027 international date has yet been posted. Admission is therefore effectively rolling for domestic applicants and governed by a single seasonal cutoff, not yet republished, for international ones. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
