Program overview
A four year engineering degree in electrical power, covering generation and transmission, protection and control, power electronics, grid integration of renewables and paid co-op work terms, with applied practice running through the programme.
Canadian electricity systems are being rebuilt around electrification and renewables, which gives this degree an unusually clear demand picture.
Bachelor of Engineering in Power Systems Engineering is taught at Conestoga College Cambridge Fountain Street, a public Ontario college on the post-secondary institution list. Because the power systems engineering degree is a degree, it is exempt from the PGWP field of study requirement that applies to college level credentials. Conestoga records the power systems engineering degree under CIP 14.1001. That exemption lets the power systems engineering degree support a post-graduation work permit of up to three years whatever the subject. Ontario still requires a provincial attestation letter before the power systems engineering degree can support a study permit application.
