Technology continues to make it easier for us to work, live and communicate with each other every day driven by innovations in the electronics industry. Electronics engineering technologists play a critical role in this industry contributing to the design, development, testing, production and maintenance of electronic systems and components.  

Humber’s advanced diploma in Electronics Engineering Technology will prepare you for career opportunities in a wide range of industry sectors and boasts one of the highest employability rates. This advanced diploma builds on the skills gained in the two-year technician diploma program through design- and project-based courses, technical capstone project, and exposure to electronic product development.

The program takes a system design and integration approach to electronic applications. You will gain a solid foundation and hands-on training in: 

• analog and digital electronics, and fabrication
• coding and embedded microcontrollers
• industrial, scientific and medical instrumentation
• signal acquisition and processing
• photonics, fiber optics, microwave links and antennas
• RF communications and networking
• control systems, automation and mechatronics
• current application areas such as AI/Machine Learning, IoT, smart cities and edge computing

Emphasis is placed on practical hands-on learning through project- and challenge-based learning approaches, to help prepare students for entry into the workforce and promote life-long learning. We also provide opportunities for you to engage with various co-curricular activities to build your resume. This includes avenues such as applied research and interdisciplinary projects on emerging technologies in broadcast networks, printed/wearable electronics, IoT, AI/Machine Learning, and AR/VR systems.  

The program has been designed in collaboration with an advisory panel comprised of industry experts to ensure you are learning the most up-to-date and relevant skills. 

This program offers an optional co-operative education placement. Optional co-operative education placements enable you to apply your skills and knowledge in a work environment and gain valuable, practical experience related to your program of study. You will learn new skills, learn about the world of work and meet people in your profession.

For students who are accepted into the program, two optional co-operative education placements will take place. The first four-month placement is between Semesters 2 and 3, and the second four-month placement is between Semesters 4 and 5. There are limited spaces in the co-op option. Therefore, you will apply for the co-op option during Semester 1 and be informed of the process by which to apply. While optional co-operative education placements are not guaranteed, as students are in a competitive job placement market, participating students will receive a wide range of services to help them find a co-op opportunity.

The demand for high-skill, high-tech occupations will only grow as technology continues to advance and change the way we live and work especially in industrially dynamic regions such as the Greater Toronto Area.

Our graduates work at major organizations such as CTV and CBC; Ontario Power Generation; Hydro One; Rogers, Telus and Bell; and GE Canada, to mention just a few. They put their skills to work in research and development where they build prototypes and test new devices. They are manufacturers’ representatives, technical salespeople, managers and entrepreneurs. They manufacture electronic systems and install, maintain and troubleshoot such systems through their lifecycle. Some of our graduates choose to start up on their own and launch their own businesses.
