Instrumentation and Control Engineering Technology at St Lawrence College at Kingston

In the Advanced Diploma in Instrumentation and Control Engineering Technology program, students learn to control, maintenance, and design of any process. Few colleges in Ontario offer an Instrumentation and Control Engineering Technology program and the workforce with these skills is shrinking due to retirements. As a result demand for these skills is high and continues to grow stronger every year.

Program Highlights:

• Hands On: The program is practical and hands-on. Core subject areas have approximately a 2:1 ratio of lab hours to theory hours. Students will be working with the equipment found in the industry.
• Flexibility: The program accommodates high school graduates, mature students making a career change and post-graduate students wishing to acquire practical skills.
• Job satisfaction: Control systems are the brains behind the devices that produce everyday goods and keep the environment and utilities safe. Jobs are found in municipal waste and water utilities, building environment controls as well as assembly and manufacturing. In control systems, different tasks and problem solving are performed daily.
• Co-operative Education Opportunities: Both the technician and technologist programs now offer co-operative education opportunities – depending on availability of positions. These paid workplace educational opportunities will expand as we cultivate more co-op positions with other firms.
