College Diploma - Electromechanical Engineering Technician

The Electromechanical Engineering Technician diploma trains technicians for automated production environments, where mechanical systems and electrical control are inseparable.

Coursework covers electrical fundamentals and circuit analysis, mechanical systems including drives, bearings and power transmission, fluid power — hydraulics and pneumatics, programmable logic controllers and ladder logic programming, industrial sensors and instrumentation, motor control and variable frequency drives, robotics fundamentals, industrial networking, and machine safety standards. Lab work runs on real automation equipment, not simulation software.

Automation is the reason this credential holds value. Manufacturers across Ontario are replacing manual processes with automated cells and consistently cannot find technicians who can troubleshoot across both the mechanical and the control side of a machine. That cross-disciplinary capability is exactly what the program is built to produce.

Humber Polytechnic — formerly Humber College — is Ontario’s largest public college and a Designated Learning Institution (DLI O19376943122). The North campus in Etobicoke is its main site, running technology, engineering, health science, business and skilled trades programs in purpose-built labs and shops rather than lecture halls, with three intakes a year and the deepest employer network in the Greater Toronto Area.

Its field maps to CIP 15.0403 (Electromechanical technology). Important: this is a college credential rather than a degree, so it is not exempt from the November 2024 PGWP field-of-study restriction — eligibility depends on this CIP field appearing on IRCC’s eligible list when you apply. Humber publishes a PGWP-eligible program list with CIP codes; check it, and confirm with an Apply Study Visa counsellor before committing. IRCC makes the final decision.
