Ontario College Advanced Diploma in Electromechanical Engineering Technology

Fanshawe College

The three-year Electromechanical Engineering Technology advanced diploma equips students with the skills to design, maintain, and repair electromechanical systems. With hands-on training in robotics, PLC automation, and pneumatic control circuits, students will gain expertise in AutoCAD and SolidWorks. The program includes a co-op education component for real-world experience and a capstone project to demonstrate mastery. Graduates will be ready for careers in advanced manufacturing, process development, product design, technical sales and more. This three-year advanced diploma offers students comprehensive training in the design, maintenance, and repair of electromechanical systems and components. Designed for students with no prior post-secondary experience, this program covers a wide range of critical skills in the electromechanical field. Students will learn to analyze, modify, and maintain complex systems, as well as gain expertise in robotics, PLC automation, and pneumatic control circuits. Through this training, students will be eligible for FANUC Robotics Certification via Fanshawe’s FANUC Robotics Certified Education Robot Training. In addition to technical knowledge, students will gain proficiency in industry-standard software tools like AutoCAD and SolidWorks, which are essential for mechanical print design, tolerance analysis, and modern electromechanical machinery development. The program includes a 15-week capstone project that allows students to demonstrate their mastery of electromechanical principles in a real-world setting. A key feature of this program is its co-operative education component, offering students valuable first-hand, paid workplace experience. This will provide a strong foundation for careers in advanced manufacturing, process development, commissioning, modification and maintenance, controls development, product design and validation, and technical sales.
