Computer Engineering Technology
Advanced Diploma
Program Code: 03501
Campus: North
Length: 6 semesters
Humber’s Computer Engineering Technology advanced diploma program trains you to develop and design the cutting-edge technologies that propel most businesses and governments around the world.
Industry experts will teach you skills in hardware and software, electronics, networking, and a variety of systems. As well, you will learn to upgrade and incorporate new technological advances into existing systems.
The curriculum is designed with industry collaboration, ensuring you are learning the skills that companies require. The program features courses in programming; electronics; networks set up and programming; Linux/Ubuntu/Windows installation, configuration, and administration; real-time systems; and the network services that lay the groundwork to build software skills and expertise in data communications, networking and security. You’ll develop, install and operate embedded and network systems; work on various network protocols and microcontrollers; and learn to refine and develop current applications.
In your final year, you will focus on integrating all of your skills by examining the inner workings of networks using different application programming interfaces (APIs) to build network applications, comparing different computer architectures and completing a major project using an embedded system.
This program offers an placement. Optional co-operative education placements enable you to apply your skills and knowledge in a work environment and gain valuable, practical experience related to your program of study. You will learn new skills, learn about the world of work and meet people in your profession. The current optional co-operative education placement program will continue for the students who started the program before Fall 2019.
For students who are accepted into the program, three optional co-operative education placements will take place. The first four-month optional co-operative education placement is between Semesters 3 and 4, and then two consecutive four-month optional co-operative education placements between Semesters 4 and 5. There are limited spaces in the co-op option. Therefore, you will apply for the co-op option during Semester 2 and be informed of the process by which to apply. While co-op work opportunities are not guaranteed, as students are in a competitive job placement market, participating students will receive a wide range of services to help them find a co-op opportunity.
