Applied Electrical Motion and Control Management at Conestoga College

The Applied Electrical Motion and Control Management program is designed for graduates of engineering degree or diploma programs wanting to expand their knowledge into the applications of AC and DC power for motion and propulsion. In this program, students will be provided with opportunities to work with simulation software to enhance their knowledge of AC/DC motors, transformers, inverters, batteries and chargers as well as programmable logic controllers. These types of technologies are typically found in electric drives operating throughout industrial manufacturing and primary industries such as pulp and paper, metals and mining, power generation, elevators, escalators as well as moving walkways and electric transportation systems.

The program will help students develop leadership skills, as well as the ability to manage complex industrial processes and teams effectively in order to meet business goals. It includes quality assurance, process and project management with a focus on meeting challenges in an industrial environment from operational and strategic perspectives. During the final semester, students will participate in a capstone course where they will work in teams to collaborate, plan and develop a project of their choosing to solve a problem related to one of their studied areas. By the time students graduate, they will have an understanding of advancements in manufacturing processes, communications, human resources and safety practices so they can effectively contribute in today's industrial sector.
