The Electrical Power and Industrial Control option of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET) program offers students a foundation in the technology used in utility, industrial, commercial and residential applications. Graduates will have strong theoretical and practical, hands-on knowledge in many areas, including:
Power generation including renewable and conventional energy resources
Electric machines (motors and generators) and their controls
Power distribution design for utilities
Industrial electrical systems and lighting design according to the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC)
Measurement of power quality issues and how to solve them
Troubleshooting and operation of electrical power equipment including transformers and switchgear
Power systems protection including both legacy and modern protection system
Field measurement and design for grounding and bonding systems
Industrial data communications including traditional SCADA systems and new smart grid technologies
Industrial power electronics including variable frequency drives, inverters and rectifiers
Power conversion systems for renewable energy resources such as wind and solar
Programmable logic controller (PLC) system design and programming
Managing and completing student-initiated or industry-sponsored projects in small groups
Entry into the power-option is competitive and priority is given to students with sufficiently high academic standing after their first common year of the ECET program. Graduates of this option may also proceed to the full-time BEng, Electrical Engineering degree program (competitive entry) or part-time BTech, Electronics degree program after completion.
