Computer Engineering Technology at Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT)

Computers play a role in every segment of modern society. Growing demand and advances in miniature, solid-state microprocessor technology have sparked the development of smaller, less expensive and more powerful computers, and increased the need for well-trained technical personnel.

In the 2-year Computer Engineering Technology diploma program, students will design, build and program computers, gain skills in the hardware and software aspects of microcomputers and their applications, and receive extensive hands-on training.

Hands-on, industry-relevant skills

In Computer Engineering Technology, students will be trained in both computer hardware and software, including concepts related to computer architecture fundamentals, industrial electronics and embedded controllers using analog and digital integration. Students will become fluent in the assembly language programming of micro-controllers, advanced programming languages such as C#, Windows application development, database concepts and dynamic web development. 

The program's hands-on learning environment and industry focus will provide students with the skills and knowledge they will need to secure a rewarding career as a computer engineering technologist.
