Electronics Engineering Technology Students Project Showcase at RCC Institute of Technology

PRLog (Press Release) - Jun. 7, 2012 - On Friday June 8, 2012, the graduating class of Electronics Engineering Technology at the School of Engineering Technology & Computing at RCC Institute of Technology (SETC) will be showcasing their final projects. From 11AM - 3PM the public is welcome to visit the Steeles Campus to view the final technology projects that students have worked on.

For more than 80 years, SETC has supplied the technology sector with highly skilled graduates. Beginning in 1927 as a training facility for the radio and communications sector, the school quickly became a leader in electronics, micro-processing and computer-based systems education. Since its inception, SETC (formerly called the RCC Institute of Technology) has also been a leading proponent of certification and standardization within the field of technology.

Each term graduating students showcase their technology projects on a quarterly basis throughout the year. These projects are a requirement of graduation and are completed in teams of 3 or more students over a period of two terms (8 months). Each team must plan, research, design, and implement a complex electronics, computer- or network-related project. The projects require students to apply their technical skills, troubleshooting skills, theoretical knowledge, analytical skills, presentation and communication skills. These projects integrate all program coursework.

The final projects at the June 8th showcase will be presented to numerous industry judges from:
•   IBM Canada
•   Hydro One Networks Inc.
•   RIM
•   National Energy Equipment
•   DSC Tyco Safety Products
•   ITS Electronics
•   Veridin Systems Canada
•   Techcom Software Solutions
•   Conspec Controls LTD.
•   Abbott Laboratories LTD.

The Electronics Engineering Technology diploma and degree at the School of Engineering & Technology blends theory with analysis, design and business skills to prepare graduates for designing and implementing electronics-based products and systems. Specific courses include computer-based circuit design and simulation, signal processing, probability and statistics, communications (analog, digital, data, high-frequency, and microwave), embedded wireless systems, microcontrollers, networking and control systems. Many classes integrate lab work, allowing students to test and apply new knowledge right away.
