Humber’s Computer Engineering Technology advanced diploma program trains students to develop and design the cutting-edge technologies that propel most businesses and governments around the world. Students will be taught by industry experts, in small classes, skills in hardware and software, electronics and networking, plus a variety of systems. They will also learn to upgrade and incorporate new technological advances into existing systems. The curriculum is designed with industry collaboration, ensuring students are learning the skills that companies require. The program features courses in programming; electronics; networks set up and programming; Linux/Ubuntu installation and configuration; and the network services that lay the groundwork to build software skills and expertise in data communications, networking and security. Students will develop, install and operate computer embedded and network systems; work on various network protocols and microcontrollers; and learn to refine and develop current applications. In their final year, students will focus on integrating all their 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 a co-op option. Co-op work terms enable students to apply their skills and knowledge in a work environment and gain valuable, practical experience related to the program of study. Students will learn new skills, learn about the world of work and meet people in their profession. For students who are accepted into the program, three co-op work terms will take place. The first four-month work term is between Semesters 3 and 4, and then two consecutive four-month work terms between Semesters 4 and 5. There are limited spaces in the co-op option. Therefore, students must 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.
