Instrumentation and Control Engineering Technology is a specialization program. Students interested in this program must apply to and complete the first common year of the Electrical Engineering Technology program. The Instrumentation and Control Engineering Technology program develops the in-depth knowledge and skills you need to control and automate operations in the manufacturing and resource industries. Through this program, you’ll explore data acquisition, networking, distributed control systems and remote terminal units. You’ll also learn the configuration/programming language of various microprocessor-based devices.As part of your RRC Polytech education, you’ll gain practical industry experience through a co-op work experience. This co-op opportunity will help you build relevant work experience, integrate your previous learning and create connections with industry partners and employers. As an Instrumentation and Control Engineering Technology graduate, you’re eligible for apprenticeship recognition under the Red Seal trade of Instrumentation and Control Technician. RRC Polytech’s experiential lab sessions provide credit hours for field experience requirements, and classes are recognized as equivalent to the four levels of apprenticeship schooling.
