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 admission to the co-op stream, students are required to achieve a minimum 65% in Level 1 with a maximum of one dropped or failed courses and must pass Engineering Drawing I.
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.
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 the 2nd and 3rd co-op work term, students are required to achieve a minimum 65% 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.
Outstanding core courses must be completed prior to commencing subsequent co-op work terms.

About the Program

This diploma program features co-operative education with six academic terms at the College and three work terms in industry. Studies combine theoretical knowledge with applied skills in the control of robotic and automated equipment using electronics, programmable automation controllers, computers, hydraulics and pneumatics.

In addition, the program focuses on the development of skills in computer-aided design, mechanical technology, electric motors, servo-mechanisms, robotics, industrial automation, and safety standards.

Emphasis is placed on effective techniques for designing, modifying, installing, testing, maintaining, repairing and troubleshooting equipment and systems. Effective communication is also stressed.

The Robotics and Automation program culminates in a third-year capstone project in which all the skills learned at school and on work terms are integrated into the proposal, design and construction of a fully functioning manufacturing work cell. The optional co-op stream includes three co-op work terms.

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.
