Work-Integrated Learning
This program offers an 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 optional co-operative education placement is between Semesters 2 and 3, and the second four-month optional co-operative education 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 Humber Advantage
Software & Technology
Graduates who seek high-end jobs as well as those who choose to continue on to university, will find themselves well prepared and comfortable with high-end software tools such as SPICE-based circuit simulators, VHDL, MATLAB, SIMULINK, LabVIEW and the signal and image processing toolboxes routinely used in industry and university programs.
The Humber Experience
Albert Jansen Wins Award
This year, the Faculty of Applied Sciences and Technology chose Albert Jansen as the recipient of the Board of Governor's Award. Academically, Albert was one of the top students throughout the three years of the Electronics Engineering Technology program.
Special Events
National Engineering Month is Canada’s largest celebration of engineering excellence, and this year students from Humber’s Electronics Engineering Technology program teamed up with Humberwood Downs Junior Middle Academy to give middle school students a taste of how electronics technology and green energy are an important part of Canada’s future, and they even got a chance to try their hand at building electronic circuits!
Humber Hosts FIRST Robotics Competition 2022
In partnership with FIRST Robotics Canada
March 5 to 6, 2022
The goal of FIRST Robotics is to empower competitors to be the next generation of leaders and innovators who will go on to tackle the world’s toughest challenges.
Your Career
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.
