Course Details

The Electrical and Electronics Engineering Technician certificate program is designed to provide students with the knowledge and practical skills required to work as a technician in the electrical and electronics fields.

This program offers a broad range of skill-based training in fundamental areas such as math, physical science, electrical circuits, critical thinking, problem-solving, research, communication, and teamwork as well as technical skills such as installation, testing, operation, maintenance, analyzing and troubleshooting of electrical and electronic circuits, equipment and systems.

Throughout the program, students will learn and apply the knowledge and skills in a real, practical, and simulated environment through lectures, extensive hands-on activities, and individual or team projects.

Students enrolled in this program continue their studies through the spring and complete at the end of summer term. 

This enables students to apply for entrance into the second year of the Electrical Engineering Technology or Electronics Engineering Technology programs and complete the certificate and diploma programs within 16 months of full-time study.

Duration

The requirements for this certificate program may be achieved within one year of full-time study.

Admission Requirements

Profile C

  • High School Diploma or Adult High School Diploma or GED Diploma of High School Equivalency or Canadian Adult Education Credential (CAEC) or Essential Skills Achievement Pathway: Post-Secondary Entry High School Diploma
  • Foundations of Mathematics 110
  • Total of two (2) sciences, including at least one (1) from the following:
    • Biology 112 or 122
    • Chemistry 112 or 122
    • Physics 112 or 122 (recommended)

Career Possibilities

Graduates of the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Technician Certificate program may find employment in electrical utilities, communications companies, manufacturers of electrical and electronic equipment, consulting firms, and in governments and a wide range of manufacturing, processing and transportation industries.

They may work independently or provide technical support and services in the design, development, testing, production and operation of electrical and electronic equipment and systems.

Specific Considerations

After successful completion of their first year, graduates from the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Technician certificate program can choose to continue their studies in either an Electronics Engineering Technology Diploma or an Electrical Engineering Technology diploma path. The diploma path requires one additional year of study. 

Local campuses can provide information on courses that are the prerequisites for technology programs at New Brunswick Community College. Many universities give credits for courses completed in this program; however, assessment is normally completed on an individual basis.

Technology Requirements

NBCC is a connected learning environment. All programs require a minimum specification, including access to the internet and a laptop.

Your computer should meet your program technology requirements to ensure the software required for your program operates effectively. Free wifi is provided on all campuses.
