Admission Requirements

Entry requirements:

English requirements:

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:

  • ELTS overall band of 6.5 with no band less than 6.0
  • TOEFL iBT 88
  • CAEL 70, no sub-test band score less than 60
  • PTE Academic 58
  • Conestoga English Language Test (CELT) Band 6

Other requirements:

  • 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 the co-op stream, students will be required to achieve an overall 60% unweighted average (with a maximum of one dropped or failed course) in all Level 1 and 2 program courses. If an applicant has a lower overall average, their application will be decided upon on a case-by-case basis, based on one or more of: course performance, a possible interview, and number of acceptances already granted. Courses in which exemptions were granted or PLARs achieved will be ignored in calculating the average (with the exception below).
  • Students seeking to transfer with advanced standing into the co-op option from other programs (e.g., Welding Techniques or Welding and Fabrication Technician) will be considered; however, transfer credits for Technical Mathematics I and Technical Mathematics II will be weighted with a 20% penalty and all of the other requirements above will apply.
  • 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 60% session weighted average and a maximum of two failed or dropped courses during the term that occurs two terms prior to the co-op work term.

Course Information

About the Program

This unique program provides extensive hands-on work with welding automation and robotics systems including: GMAW (MIG) and spot-welding applications, CAD/CAM applications with CNC thermal cutting, and off-line robotic simulation programming applications. The curriculum builds on welding technology background with broader knowledge in manufacturing methods and industrial automation. This program has a common first two years with the Welding Engineering Technology - Inspection program. 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. The optional co-op stream includes four consecutive four-month work terms.

Program Outcomes

  • Analyze and solve complex technical problems related to manufacturing environments through the application of engineering principles.

  • Design and analyze components, processes, and systems through the application of engineering principles and practices.

  • Select, assess, and test (using analytical, destructive, and non-destructive inspection techniques) materials, structures, and weld joints to assure compliance with physical and metallurgical requirements.

  • Analyze and prepare graphics and other technical documents to appropriate engineering standards.

  • Use computer hardware and software to support the engineering environment.

  • Assist in the specification of manufacturing operations and processes.

  • Select, develop specifications for and program robotic and automated welding and joining systems.

  • Apply knowledge of machinery, tools, and other equipment in manufacturing and assembling components.

  • Specify, coordinate, and conduct quality control and quality assurance procedures.

  • Recognize the environmental, economic, legal, safety, and ethical implications of manufacturing projects.

  • Use and maintain documentation, inventory, and records systems.

  • Participate in the management of a manufacturing project.

  • Develop strategies and plans to improve job performance and work relationships.

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.
