Diploma in Electrical Engineering Technology

Electrical engineering technologists are specialists in managing energy. It’s a powerful career choice that demands good problem-solving skills and an eye for detail. In return, you’ll enjoy good job prospects, excellent mobility, and great earning potential.

The Electrical Engineering Technology program is a three-year diploma offered full-time at Saskatchewan Polytechnic, Moose Jaw Campus. There are five academic semesters and three Co-operative Education work terms.

You’ll study topics that provide comprehensive knowledge and skills in the generation, transmission and distribution, utilization, protection, and sustainable management of energy. Your knowledge and skills will become more focused as you advance. Some of the topics you’ll study are:

• Electrical machines
• Electrical power generation
• Electrical system design
• Industrial automation and control systems
• Industrial power electronics
• Instrumentation
• Power transmission and distribution
• Project management
• Relaying and protection
• Renewable energy systems.
• and much more

Lab work and projects provide a hands-on focus on learning. You’ll develop a technical proposal, apply research skills to a technical problem, design and build electrical systems, and more.

The Co-op Work Term Advantage

Cooperative work terms are paid, so you'll earn while you learn. Saskatchewan Polytechnic arranges your interviews; it's up to you to shine. It's also a chance to develop important "soft skills" in job interviewing, professional attitude, interpersonal communication, and more.

Many of our 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. Some opportunities require a Criminal Record Check and/or drug and alcohol testing.
