| Description: | In Humber's Electromechanical Engineering Technology advanced diploma program, you'll learn how to support the engineering activities of manufacturers that rely increasingly on automation technology to maintain a competitive edge in the global economy. You will develop skills in industrial automation, robotics, control systems, machining, hydraulics, pneumatics, safety, mechatronics, microcomputer-based automation, programmable logic controllers (PLCs), automation welding, machine elements and computer-control methods. You will also learn to decipher mechanical and electrical schematic drawings and use electrical and mechanical diagnostic tools. Students are encouraged to be a part of an annual provincial and National Skills competition in mechatronics, a prestigious competition among top institutions in Canada where Humber students consistently earn podium spots. Our program builds upon the solid technical foundation of the Electromechanical Engineering Technician program, and graduates are prepared to enter a wider range of careers. The skills first learned in the technician program are enhanced through project-based learning and increased hands-on practice in the labs. Complementing your technical education are the effective communications, problem-solving and interpersonal skills that add value to any team. Coursework reflects real-world demands through independent and co-operative study in practical environments including experience with industrial standard equipment. The curriculum is taught by faculty at the top of their fields providing you with the skills and knowledge employers are looking for. Members from a wide variety of industries make up our advisory committee. They provide regular review and input of our curriculum ensuring our program is always on the cutting edge of industry developments. |
