Program overview

About the program

Prepare for undergraduate studies at university. Learn about electronic circuits and system analysis and design. Explore electronic technology fields such as telecommunications, control systems, embedded systems and the industrial internet of things (IoT).

Program description

Upon completion of this program, graduates of Okanagan College’s Electronic Engineering Technology program will be able to bridge into the first semester of third year in Electrical Engineering at UBC Okanagan.

The program consists of courses intended to broaden and deepen the student’s knowledge to allow them to succeed in the Electrical Engineering degree program at UBC-O. It has been developed in cooperation with UBC-O. The program uses existing courses offered by Okanagan College and can be taken part-time. The program will take two semesters full-time, or longer if taken part-time. After the second semester of the bridge, students are also required to take ELEN 178, a two-week post-semester course at Okanagan College, followed by the summer session of the APSC 278 course at UBC-O.
