If English is not your first language or you've received your education in a language other than English, students must produce evidence of their English Language Proficiency:
Grade 12 compulsory English, C or U, or equivalent, OR Conestoga College Preparatory Communications
Grade 12 Mathematics, C or U, or equivalent, or Conestoga College Preparatory Mathematics for Technology & Apprenticeship
Applicants not meeting the math admission requirements may arrange for testing to assess mathematical ability.
To be considered for admission to the co-op stream, students are required to achieve a minimum 80% session weighted average and no failed or dropped courses during the term that occurs two terms prior to the co-op work term.
All students who have successfully completed Level 1 of Electrical Engineering Technician, Electrical Engineering Technology or Energy Systems Engineering Technology, who are enrolled in Level 2 of the Engineering Technology program or Energy Systems Engineering Technology program, will also be considered in the co-op stream application process.
Applicants are required to have basic computer literacy.
Academic eligibility for a co-op work term is based on the term that occurs two terms prior to any work term. If this term is also a co-op work term, then work term eligibility will be based on the student's achievement during the preceding academic term.
Should a student's academic performance decline considerably (including cumulative missed courses) during the term just prior to any work term, the college reserves the right to withdraw the student from the upcoming work term.
In the case of back to back work terms eligibility to participate in consecutive work terms will be granted upon approval to participate in the initial work term.
Where two or more work terms occur back to back, should a student fail to achieve academic eligibility for the first work term, their eligibility for the second work term will be based on the term that occurs two terms prior to the second work term.
Students may only fail/defer one work term regardless of the reason(s).
Students who do not successfully complete their deferred work term will be removed from the co-op stream.
Since only one work term may be failed/deferred regardless of the reason(s), should a subsequent work term be missed/failed/unsecured (not successfully completed for any reason) the student will be immediately removed from the co-op stream.
Students who are discontinued are not eligible for co-op work terms.
To be eligible for a co-op work term, students are required to achieve a minimum 70% session weighted average and a maximum of two failures or dropped courses during the term that occurs two terms prior to the co-op work term.
About the Program
The three-year Electrical Engineering Technology program has been designed to provide students with both theoretical and practical experience, enabling them to work in a wide variety of electrical engineering areas including power systems and process control.
In the first two years, students gain experience with electric motors, controls, PLCs, generators, transformers and their industrial applications. In the third year, students continue with advanced PLC applications as applied to a variety of industrial processes including machine controls, PID controls, batching operations, remote monitoring and servo systems.
The Electrical Engineering Technology program prepares students to work with power generation, automation systems, instrumentation and various other control systems. Throughout the program, students will also gain experience in safety practices, safety standards and equipment, technical writing and CAD. The optional co-op stream includes four consecutive four-month work terms.
Graduating students perform technological functions in various aspects of the energy field, primarily in support of research, development and design at a recognized technologist level.
The Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT) conditionally recognizes this program as meeting all the academic requirements for certification in the Certified Engineering Technologist (CET) category.

Co-op Information
Co-op programs add value to your education. Earn while you apply what you learn in a real workplace environment. See the Co-op webpages.
The College cannot guarantee co-op employment. All co-op students are required to conduct an independent co-op job search in addition to the supports and services provided by the Department of Co-op Education.
Students are responsible for their own transportation and associated costs in order to complete work term requirements. Work locations may not always be readily accessible by public transportation.
