Program Overview

This full-time graduate certificate program will help prepare graduates with a previous technical degree or diploma for engineering work in the industrial automation sector. The program offers key practical courses similar to those found in our highly successful Robotics and Automation Technology program. The optional co-op stream includes one co-op work term instead of the Guided Career Management course.

Program Outcomes

  • Control automated manufacturing components and systems though the influence of configuration, programming selection, and connectivity.
  • Create new, and interpret existing two and three dimensional CAD models of parts and assemblies for automated manufacturing systems
  • Produce three dimensional CAD animations to simulate machine motion and operations
  • Determine safety requirements of robotics and automated systems and apply them to the design of components and systems
  • Work with appropriate measuring devices, and data acquisition systems to record information and measurement for analysis and interpretation.
  • Analyze and communicate technical information effectively to a variety of audiences using various media and methods.
  • Apply professional conduct while engaged in academic and practical activity in the classroom and during the co-op work term.

Applying to the Co-op Stream

  • All applicants apply to the non co-op program. Students will be informed of the application deadline and process to apply for the Co-op Stream. Labour market conditions determine the number of co-op seats in optional co-op programs. Every student who meets academic eligibility requirements may not be admitted to the co-op stream.
  • To be considered for admission to the co-op stream, students are required to achieve a minimum 80% session weighted average with no dropped or failed courses.

Co-op Information

  • Co-op programs add value to your education. Earn while you apply what you learn in a real workplace environment. See the Co-op webpages
  • The College cannot guarantee co-op employment. All co-op students are required to conduct an independent co-op job search in addition to the supports and services provided by the Department of Co-op Education.
  • Students are responsible for their own transportation and associated costs in order to complete work term requirements. Work locations may not always be readily accessible by public transportation.
  • Students who are not eligible for co-op or do not secure a co-op work term by the start of the work term semester will be offered the option to enrol in the 15 credit Career Management in Canada GCM8000 co-op alternative. This co-op alternative involves one 3 hour on campus session per week and 12 hours per week of online and out-of-class activity.
  • If GCM8000 is selected, the student must attend sessions from the first session of the term and cannot transfer back into the co-op stream.
  • GCM8000 may be delivered at the Doon, Waterloo, or Cambridge campus.
