Diploma Communications Engineering Technology
Students take their interest in technology to the next level. Design, manufacture and install the most up-to-date communications systems that keep us humans linked together.
It’s a real concept and has real-world application. The internet of things (IoT) is the physical network of devices, appliances, vehicles, and other items that integrate and connect to exchange data and make lives run smoother, easier, and more efficiently. In this program, students will be at the center of creating and supporting it.
Students will learn to support the design, development, and repair of communication systems, such as voice, video, data, wi-fi and Bluetooth, through this accredited two-year program. Students will graduate with the skills necessary to create, manufacture, install and analyze different types of communication technologies.
There are industry opportunities for students through our Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers student branch, Cisco Networking Systems partnership, and CTAB accreditation. Assiniboine even has a connection to the Canadian Forces, where students can be accredited as a Weapon Engineering Technician.
