ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING
Technology
243.B0

Electronics Engineering Technology (243.B0) at Dawson College has been updated to reflect the changes in the telecommunications, computers
and networks industry. This three-year program provides a solid foundation in the theory and practice of electronics. In the second year of
study, students will have chosen to continue their studies in one of two options: the Telecommunications specialization or the Computers and
Networks specialization.
Graduates will work in a variety of technical occupations related to computers and networks, and in the tele-communications 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 Career Opportunities

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
• 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
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
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. The 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.
