Electrical engineering technology-process automation program provides you with basic knowledge of electricity and electronics. As a student, you will study application-related disciplines, such as computer technology, industrial electronics, instrumentation, motors, robots, power electronics and automation control systems. As a graduate, you will face a career in an industrial environment.

You will be able to understand written and oral instructions, as well as design, install, test, modify, troubleshoot and repair electrical systems.

After graduation, students majoring in electrical engineering technology-process automation can study industrial electrical and electronic systems from the perspectives of analysis, technical evaluation, design and development. The six-semester course focuses on the in-depth study of electrical and electronic principles applied to automation systems using programmable logic controllers. The program is designed to provide you with a good employment foundation at an advanced level, which may lead to a supervisory position in your career. The "through-train" program awards diplomas at the end of the second year, and you can study for another year if there are enough students.

Technicians and technical graduates with two years' qualified work experience are eligible to be certified by Ontario Certified Engineering Technicians and Technicians Association (OACETT).

Students may have the opportunity to participate in applied research projects. For more information about the Applied Research Center of Suo College, please refer to the "Applied Research Center" section.

Today, the world around us is changing rapidly. It seems that new technologies will appear and become obsolete soon. With the rapid progress of electronic technology, people with such "primitive" electronic engineering technology will feel depressed, inferior and depressed. For them, the chances of getting a good income and honor may seem rather slim.

But electrical engineers' false impression of their profession may be groundless and completely wrong. If you try, even in the current high-tech world, people can easily find that the benefits of being an electrical engineer are diversified, abundant and very profitable.

The role of electrical engineers in society and industry

The word "electricity" comes from electricity. Each of us should remember that electricity is the only basic driving force of today's so-called "ultra-modern high-tech world". If the ultra-advanced electronic world is "body" and electricity is "blood", then electrical engineers undoubtedly play an important role in becoming the "soul" of this body. For example, in a power plant, which may be a hydropower plant or a nuclear power plant, electrical engineers are in charge of the performance. Without them, the whole country may suddenly fall into complete darkness, chaos and stagnation. Or even in our daily life, when the water pump motor in our house or apartment breaks down, it is the electrical engineer who comes to save us. Just because of the efforts of an electrical engineer, any wiring problem in our home was solved in a few minutes. Obviously, no one would think of finding a microcontroller engineer to solve the above problems.

There is a lot of choice.

So far, the benefits of being an electrical engineer are sufficient. We will try to analyze and learn them in the following point-by-point way:

Today, the operation of many industries is entirely due to the participation of qualified and experienced electrical engineers.

Some industries produce heavy electrical products, such as motors, transformers, pumps, cables and even steel. They always need qualified electrical engineers.

The work scope of these engineers is also very open in the industry of manufacturing locomotives and automotive electrical equipment.

There is another very innovative choice, and today more and more electrical engineers are involved. Being self-employed is a simple idea.

Today, many electrical engineers choose to own their own electrical workshops and shops instead of working in boring factories.

For these smart electrical engineers, owning a shop can be a double source of income. With the sales of electrical accessories and equipment, they can get rich income through timely after-sales service.

Many industries like to outsource their work. Electrical engineers with their own studios can accept orders from these companies and get rich rewards.

Now the situation seems to have changed. Obviously, compared with other professions, the benefits of becoming an electrical engineer are infinite and will always exist.
