Learn to control and maintain machines in the Instrumentation and Control Engineering Technician/Technology programs at St. Lawrence College. 

“Instrumentation describes the control, maintenance, and design of any process. It is the practice of calibration, control, design, electric hookup, and programming.” Urban Dictionary

Few colleges in Ontario offer an Instrumentation and Control Engineering Technology program and the workforce with these skills is shrinking due to retirements. 

As a result demand for these skills is high and continues to grow stronger every year.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

Hands-On: The program is practical and hands-on. Core subject areas have approximately a 2:1 ratio of lab hours to theory hours. Students will be working with the equipment found in the industry. 

The program provides students with a sound knowledge of process measurement and control theory. They will be trained to work in a modern team-oriented organization with an emphasis on productive interaction with peers.

Flexibility: The program accommodates high school graduates, mature students making a career change and post-graduate students wishing to acquire practical skills. 

Students enrolled in the two-year technician program may, upon graduation, transfer directly into the more rigorous and theoretical third year and earn a technology diploma.

Co-operative Education Opportunities: Both the technician and technologist programs now offer co-operative education opportunities – depending on the availability of positions. 

These paid work­place educational opportunities will expand as we cultivate more co-op positions with other firms.

Co-op opportunities occur during a four-month summer term after the second and fourth semesters and/or a full year term between the fifth and sixth semesters. The number of co-op positions available each year is not predefined.

These opportunities give students valuable on-the-job experience, financial help with their educational costs and enhanced employment possibilities.
