Program details
Overview
Three-year advanced diploma at Newnham Campus covering analog and digital electronics, software development, modern communications and control systems, including electronic circuitry, microcontrollers, CAD design, automation process control, embedded systems and mechatronics. The final year applies these principles to design, construct and test advanced electronic projects, ending in a capstone technical project, with curriculum content from Keysight, Autodesk, Siemens and EXFO and pathways to industry certifications. Hybrid delivery with January, May and September starts.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Domestic applicants need an Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD) or equivalent; applicants who will be 19 or older by the first day of classes may instead be assessed as mature applicants, though the program's own subject prerequisites still apply. The subject prerequisites for this Advanced Diploma are Grade 12 English at the C or U level (or an equivalent course) and Grade 12 Mathematics at the C or U level, or Grade 11 Functions (MCR3U), or an equivalent course. No formal English-language test is required of domestic applicants to this program: Seneca's institution-wide policy asks for one only from applicants to master's programs, graduate certificates and the Honours Bachelor of Aviation Technology, so Canadian citizens and permanent residents may instead clear the English and/or mathematics prerequisites through Seneca's own pre-admission test. Applicants who fall short of the subject requirements are directed to Seneca's recommended upgrading options rather than being refused outright.
