Electronic systems are in everything—computers, robotics, medical electronics, fibre optics, automotive electronics, mobile communications, automation, aerospace and surveillance systems and more. 

 That means your potential job market as an electronic systems engineering technologist is huge. 

It’s diverse, dynamic and growing. Saskatchewan Polytechnic offers the well-rounded education you need to start a career designing, servicing and troubleshooting systems.

Electronic Systems Engineering Technology is a two-year diploma program offered full time at Saskatchewan Polytechnic, Saskatoon Campus, Idylwyld Dr. You’ll gain knowledge and skills in:

• analog and digital circuits
• automation systems
• data and radio communications
• electronic prototyping
• microprocessors and microcontrollers
• printed circuit board design
• programmable logic controllers
