Overview
Learn advanced programming and computer engineering skills through theoretical studies, hands-on learning and co-op opportunities.
Earn a computer engineering technology credential employers value
Stand out from the field as a computer engineering technologist! Sheridan’s advanced diploma program builds on the two-year Computer Engineering Technician diploma by teaching you how to integrate software and hardware components. When you graduate, you’ll know how to design, build, test, implement and maintain embedded devices, computer applications and network systems.
Demonstrate your skills through a capstone project and co-op
Prove yourself to employers before you graduate! In your third year of studies, you’ll put your expertise to work in a capstone project that will be showcased to industry. You’ll also have the option of a three-term co-op placement, allowing you to graduate with one year of work experience. Some of the past students have secured employment as a result of co-op participation.
Co-op Option
Students in this program may apply to the co-op program during their second academic semester. Enrolment in the co-op program is limited through an additional Co-op application process that takes place at the end of the first year. Students in the co-op program are eligible to complete three co-op work terms prior to graduation.
Work towards your degree or other certifications
When you graduate, you’ll have completed all academic requirements for professional certification with the Ontario Association of Certified Engineering Technicians and Technologists. You may also be able to transfer into the third year of degree programs at various universities and colleges, including Sheridan’s engineering and applied computing degrees (some bridge courses may be required).
Career opportunities
Computer engineering technology skills are extremely marketable across many industries. Sheridan graduates are particularly well-qualified for jobs that involve programmable controllers, data acquisition systems, embedded controllers and electronic instrumentation.
Potential fields of work include:
- Computer Engineering Technologist
- Computer Network Technologist
- Software Developer
- Embedded System Developer
- Network Administrator
- Product Development Technologist
- Hardware/Software Support Technologist
- Hardware/Software Sales Representative
