Program description - September 2025

Are you interested in gaining industry experience while you learn about engineering in college? Our three-year Electronics Engineering Technology program, combined with its optional Co-op industry placement, will help you realize your dreams in engineering.

Graduates of this program may assume various career paths, including those of electronics technologists, field service technologists, automation specialists, or quality control technologists. Upon graduation, you can assume any role where you can apply your skills in designing, developing, assembling, installing, maintaining, testing, troubleshooting, and calibrating electronic circuits and systems.

At Conestoga, you can access modern laboratories with cutting-edge instrumentation for hands-on experimentation and prototyping, including oscilloscopes, function generators, spectrum analyzers, and soldering stations. You will also have access to computer labs and software for design, simulation, development, and troubleshooting. You will use computing devices and embedded systems to control hardware while working individually and in teams.

The program distinguishes itself by combining a solid theoretical foundation with hands-on skills. This unique combination will prepare you to produce concrete results and to communicate effectively with more experienced peers in the industry. You will also get to work in the industry for sixteen months through the optional co-op program. The program is aligned with industry trends and demands through regular input from the industry. It provides a robust background for jobs and career advancement.

Upon completing this program, you will receive a three-year diploma recognized by The Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists (OACETT) as meeting all the academic requirements for certification in the Certified Engineering Technologist (CET) category. The Royal Canadian Navy has also recognized the Electronics Engineering Technician program and now qualifies for Canadian Armed Forces skill recognition. Students who graduate from this program will receive advanced standing as a Weapons Engineering Technician in the Royal Canadian Navy (subject to successful enrolment in the Canadian Armed Forces).

Come and join us on an exciting journey to learning technology.

Financial assistance

The Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) is a needs-based program designed to help Ontario students cover the cost of post-secondary education. Funded by the federal and provincial governments, OSAP is intended to promote equality of opportunity for post-secondary studies through direct financial assistance for educational costs and living expenses. These interest-free loans are intended to supplement your financial resources and those of your family. The majority of students apply for loan assistance via the OSAP website. Students can also print the application booklet through the OSAP website. For more information, please visit OSAP & aid.

Co-op information

  • Co-op programs add value to your education. Earn money while you apply what you've learned in a real workplace environment. Visit Co-operative education for more information.
  • 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.
  • In order to participate in a WIL experience/Co-op work term, students must be legally eligible to work in Canada.

Applying to the co-op stream

  • All applicants apply to the non co-op program. Students will be informed of the application deadline and process to apply for the Co-op Stream. Labour market conditions determine the number of co-op seats in optional co-op programs. Not every student who meets academic eligibility requirements will be admitted to the co-op stream.
  • To be considered for admission to the co-op stream, students are required to achieve a minimum overall 65% weighted average in Year 1 with no dropped or failed courses.
  • International students will require work permits to utilize the co-op job board for job search and to accept employment. Students are currently experiencing longer than usual wait times for work permits. Please be advised that there will be no co-op program service fee refunds after the program withdrawal for refund date. Students that have not received their work permit and choose to remain in co-op after the program withdrawal for refund date do so at their own risk and will not be refunded. If you are concerned about receiving your work permit in time to achieve co-op employment, please discuss your situation with your co-op advisor as early as possible.
