Ontario College Advanced Diploma | 7 semesters | Barrydowne and Online Program Delivery: 2019-2020 This program will be delivered in the following terms: Fall Term Start: SEMESTER 1: Fall 2019 SEMESTER 2: Winter 2020 SEMESTER 3: Fall 2020 SEMESTER 4: Winter 2021 SEMESTER 5: Fall 2021 SEMESTER 6: Winter 2022 SEMESTER 7: Fall 2022 For specific term start/end dates and other key dates/deadlines, please see the Academic Schedule on our website. Program Highlights:

• 3 years - 7 semesters
• Final year consists of 45 weeks over three semesters; fall/winter/fall.
• Entry to the PWTY program is possible at the beginning of each of the three semesters.
• Theory subjects are offered online to students who are interested in obtaining the utmost of flexibility with their studies.
• Full program endorsed by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA).
• Hands-on training in Cambrian's 2nd Class power plant
• Advanced level courses involving management of power plants, technical reports, and aspects which comply and exceed the Standardized Power Engineers Examination Committee (SOPEEC) 2nd Class syllabus
• Students are eligible to challenge the TSSA examinations for 2nd Class certification as an Operating Engineer
• Fieldwork/Placement: In addition to the qualifying time granted by TSSA upon successful completion of the program, you are required to complete two work placements in order to obtain the qualifying time necessary to obtain 4th and 3rd Class Operating Engineering certification. After the first year, you must complete an approved three month placement toward your 4th Class certification, and after the second year, an approved one month placement toward your 3rd class certification. A TSSA-registered, on-campus 2nd Class power plant. Curriculum that is endorsed by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA). A unique program located in northern Ontario. Just a few of the reasons why Cambrian's Power Engineering Technology program is in high demand. This program will help you maximize your career opportunities by preparing to challenge the TSSA 2nd Class Operating Engineering exam. It will also prepare you for supervisory and management roles in power plants and other industrial settings. You'll gain knowledge and skills in all aspects of power plant operation and maintenance, both theoretical and practical, at the 4th Class level in first year, the 3rd Class level in second year, and the 2nd Class level in your final year. Theoretical concepts discussed in class are further explained and illustrated in the College's Power Plant Training Facility - a registered 2nd Class plant where you will help to operate and maintain working equipment in a safe and efficient manner. Depending on how the student wishes to proceed with their studies; the third year is available as a combination of online or classroom environments. This delivery alternative gives students the flexibility to learn from the convenience of their home communities. However, it is important to note that the qualifying time reduction will not be available to students who choose the online only version of the third year. Subjects of instruction closely follow the Standardized Power Engineers Examination Committee (SOPEEC) syllabus and will help prepare you to challenge the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) examinations required for certification as a 2nd Class Operating Engineer. This program has been officially recognized and approved by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority. This will grant a qualifying time reduction to you upon successful completion of the program; but only to students who pursue the full-time, day program method of instuction. Program of Study: Students are required to successfully complete an online Lab Safety course (in Moodle) when starting their program at Cambrian. This course must be completed prior to entering the labs (as identified in the table below) in the Schools of Skills Training, Engineering Technology and Environmental Studies.
