Students will have the opportunity to design, manufacture and install the most up-to-date communications systems that keep people linked together. It’s a real concept and has real-world application. The internet of things (IOT) is the physical network of devices, appliances, vehicles and other items that integrate and connect to exchange data and make human lives run smoother, easier and more efficiently. In this program, students will be at the centre of creating and supporting it. Students will learn to support the design, development and repair of communication systems, such as voice, video, data, wi-fi and Bluetooth, through this accredited two-year program. Students will graduate with the skills necessary to create, manufacture, install and analyze different types of communication technologies.

There are industry opportunities for students through Assiniboine Community College's Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers student branch, Cisco Networking Systems partnership and CTAB accreditation. Assiniboine Community College even has a connection to the Canadian Forces, where students can be accredited as a Weapon Engineering Technician. Graduates can find employment opportunities in fields like computer-aided design, electronic design and repair, computer programming, network design, communications installation or design. In recent years, almost all students from this program were offered jobs within nine months of graduation.
