• Define, configure and manage all the elements of a local
area network to ensure reliability of data transfer in a
secure manner, and conforming to industry standards
Electronics Engineering Technology (243.B0) at Dawson
College has been re-designed to reflect the changes in the
telecommunications, computers and networks industry.
The new program provides students with every opportunity
for further study and job placement upon graduation.
Starting in Fall 2009, the new Electronics Engineering
Technology (243.B0) program will prepare students for
important industry certification, such as Cisco’s CCNA
and/or CompTIA’s A+. Many of our graduates go on to
university: École de technologie supérieure (ETS) has been
specifically designed for graduates in technical programs
entering the field of engineering, and Concordia University
gives advanced standing for coursework already completed
at the CEGEP level.
This three-year program provides a solid foundation in
the theory and practice of electronics. Within the first year
of study in Electronics Engineering Technology (243.B0),
students choose between the Telecommunications specialization or Computers and Networks specialization.
Graduates will work in a variety of technical occupations
related to computers and networks, and in the telecommunications field. We use electronic devices in every
facet of our everyday lives, like USB keys, Wifi routers
and bus/Métro passes. Knowledge and skills acquired in
the program allow students to not only understand the
principles of such technology, but to install, configure and
maintain electronic systems.
In the Computer and Network Specialization, Cisco’s
CCNA and IT Essentials are taught, preparing students
to obtain Cisco’s CCNA certificate and/or CompTIA’s
A+ certificate. After completing this program, graduates
will be able to:
• Install, configure and service a computer and its
peripherals
• Install and configure various operating systems as
client and/or server stations
• Install, configure and service network related devices
to operate within a local area network environment
Students graduating from the Telecommunications
Specialization will be able to:
• Monitor, maintain and service all the elements of a
telecommunications system to ensure reliability of
all signal types
• Identify, accurately interpret, and adhere to
quality standards during assembly and integration
of a telecommunications system
• Install, configure and upgrade all the elements of a
telecommunications system
C areer O pport u n i t i e s
The Computer and Networks Specialization graduate will
typically work for any organization that requires knowledge in Electronics and/or IT infrastructure. The principal
tasks performed by the technologist in this field include
installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, repair and
modification of electronic computer systems. Furthermore,
graduates will be able to design and implement computer
networks, and use these skills in a customer service and
support role.
The Telecommunications Specialization graduate will typically work for any one of a wide variety of organizations
that require comprehensive knowledge of telecommunications electronics. The principal tasks performed by a Telecommunications Technologist include activation, servicing, maintenance, repair and modification or upgrading of
telecommunication systems, as well as technical assistance,
quality control and system design support.
While the Electronics Engineering Technology program
prepares students to enter the work force immediately
after graduation, many students pursue studies at the
university level.
Every student must take four English courses, two
French courses, three Humanities courses, three
Physical Education courses and two complementary
courses to receive a CEGEP Diploma.
