Student Experience

Learn practical skills through project work

Students in the Electrical Engineering Technology program at Algonquin College complete a design or analysis project under the guidance of a faculty advisor. They interpret and prepare specifications, technical drawings, instructions, and estimates, as well as apply project management principles to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of their projects.

State-of-the-art facilities

This program is offered in the LEED®Platinum Certified Algonquin Centre for Construction Excellence (ACCE). The Centre offers 190,000 square feet of space that allows for all construction and related design programs to be housed in a single location. This inter-professional space will encourage collaboration between disciplines and offer many integrated and cross-program learning opportunities for students.

Watch how some of the students from this program have worked with industry to come up with a viable, real-world project. This video was taken at Applied Research Day, an event held by the college that showcases these real-world projects that Algonquin College Students have worked on for the past year.
