Whether at urban power plants or remote mine sites, big machines are working 24/7. These machines are controlled by complex instruments… so complex it takes specialized technologists to look after them. Instrumentation engineering technology is a specific skill set—students need to be comfortable with technology, good at visualizing how systems work and interested in troubleshooting solutions. It’s also a career with diverse job opportunities. Demand is especially high in heavy industry, mining, manufacturing and production. Saskatchewan Polytechnic offers the only accredited instrumentation engineering technology program in Saskatchewan. The three-year diploma is offered full time at Saskatchewan Polytechnic Moose Jaw campus. During five academic semesters and three Co-operative Education work terms, students will get practical training in:
Classroom theory is supported by extensive lab time. Students have access to leading-edge equipment and supportive instruction as they apply what they've learned in experiments, applied research and a major second-year project. Co-operative work terms are paid, so students earn while they learn. Saskatchewan Polytechnic arranges interviews; it's up to students to shine. It's also a chance to develop important "soft skills" in job interviewing, professional attitude, interpersonal communication and more.
Instrumentation engineering technologists work at oil refineries, fertilizer and petrochemical plants, mine and mill sites, manufacturing facilities, for consulting engineering firms, for sales and service companies. The type of work is also varied; students could be involved in installation, calibration, maintenance, operation and monitoring, upgrading and trouble-shooting.
