ECP455 - Engineering Codes and Practices
This course covers the fundamentals of regional, national and global standards and regulations, conformity assessment, and various certification agencies. Students will learn safe working practices through health and safety legislation examples using the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and numerous regulations. A broad range of electrical and mechanical hazards will be explored in the course, using relevant examples from the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), International Electro technical Commission (IEC) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The application of electrical safety, shock, and fire hazard standards will be demonstrated and explained in a laboratory environment for actual product assessment, testing and approval using the Model Code for the Field Evaluation of Electrical Equipment (SPE-1000-21).
TEC400 - Technical Communications
This subject introduces technical communication through the analysis of scenarios and sample documents, with opportunities to write audience-centered correspondence and reports. Students learn to edit their documents to achieve accuracy, clarity, conciseness, directness, and coherence. Students also use research and documentation skills to convey technical information, such as instructions and descriptions, in reports and demonstrate effective oral communication and/or collaboration skills.
TPJ452 - Electronics Technician Senior Project
This course serves as the culmination of the technician program in which students apply the skills and competencies acquired throughout their studies in the realization of a major, working project. The project may focus on hardware, software, or both, and will typically be related to solving a practical application problem.
Students work in small teams and are introduced early in the course to project management principles and practices which are then applied to guide project planning and execution. Project implementation may involve the use of high-level programming languages, design and construction of discrete-level analog and/or digital circuits, production of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), circuit construction and housing/packaging, programming and deployment of microcontroller systems, circuit and/or system simulation, data acquisition and control, device interfacing, motor and AC mains-powered device control, etc. Students apply and refine their skills in researching, parts/device selection and procurement, cost analysis, circuit/system design, testing and trouble-shooting, and time management.
The course concludes with a formal presentation of the completed project and delivery of a written technical report. Students emerge from this challenging process with a new confidence in their acquired abilities and a deeper practical understanding of technology and all that they have learned.
GEN001 - General Education Option
According to the Ministry of Training, Colleges, and Universities, ?the purpose of General Education in the Ontario college system is to contribute to the development of citizens who are conscious of the diversity, complexity, and richness of the human experience; who are able to establish meaning through this consciousness; and, who, as a result, are able to contribute thoughtfully, creatively, and positively to the society in which they live and work. General Education strengthens students' generic skills, such as critical analysis, problem solving, and communication, in the context of an exploration of topics with broad-based personal and / or societal importance?. Please contact the School of English and Liberal Studies at your campus to find out more about the variety of General Education courses from which you can choose.
