Overview

Computer Engineering Technology Diploma

The Computer Engineering Technology program is a three-year, nationally recognized, diploma offered full-time at Saskatchewan Polytechnic, Moose Jaw campus. 

You’ll get an exceptional hands-on learning experience during five semesters of classroom study and three Co-operative Education work terms.

Saskatchewan Polytechnic is unique in its emphasis on both hardware and software. You’ll learn how to:

  • analyze, test, and design analog and digital circuits
  • design, fabricate and populate printed circuit boards
  • program personal computers and microcontrollers using various programming languages
  • design and test interfaces between computers and peripherals
  • design, install and administer networks
  • design and test various digital data transmission systems
  • install, configure and maintain workstations and servers in various operating system environments

A capstone research project gives you an opportunity to apply what you’ve learned to the development of an original design, from concept through to prototype. Co-operative work terms are paid, so you'll earn while you learn.

Many of the co-op employers require both a valid Saskatchewan Driver's License and a clean Driver's Abstract

For international students, it can take up to 12 months to obtain a Driver's license; therefore, it is to your advantage to come with a Driver's License from your home country if possible.
