The Advanced Electrical Applications graduate certificate program is designed to provide learners with the knowledge and skills to design, commission, troubleshoot, and maintain electrical power generation and distribution systems, and related equipment. The program builds on an Electrical or Electronics Engineering Technology diploma or related degree. Emphasis is placed on application of theoretical principles to design reliable, robust, and advanced electrical systems. The program is suited to those with a strong aptitude for, and interest in, mathematics, physics, and technology, as well as those who possess strong analytical, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. The program can be completed in one year of full-time study or two years of part-time study, with options for online and asynchronous study.
In this program, students will learn and apply knowledge and skills in real, practical, and simulated environments through lectures, extensive hands-on activities, and individual or team projects.
Graduates will receive a certificate and be able to work in the following sectors: electric power generation, transmission, and distribution, defense services, and general medical and surgical hospitals.
