Advanced Industrial Systems & Automation Lambton College

Program Description

The Advanced Industrial Systems & Automation, two-year Ontario College Graduate Certificate is an innovative program that provides students with theory and technical hands-on knowledge to operate, maintain, calibrate, and troubleshoot various automation, robotics, and control systems to operate countless processes used in today’s modern Canadian industries. The future of manufacturing operations is dynamic, and this program prepares university and college graduates for exciting careers in the scientific and technical aspects of machinery and industrial process operations. In the program, students gain specialized expertise and technical knowledge to build an in-depth understanding of automation variables (composition, temperature, pressure, level, density, mass, flow, proximity, acceleration, gyroscope, encoder) and control elements (valves, dampers, heaters, electric motors, conveyors, actuators, servo drives) used to maintain, modify, and optimize a variety of industrial automation processes. Throughout this highly interactive program, students are introduced to the operation and interrelated automated systems tools used in industrial automation operations. As such, program curriculum focuses on relevant areas such as industrial automation and robotics, electronic devices and circuits, process control systems, programmable logic control, pneumatics, electro-pneumatics, hydraulics, electricity, electronics, and systems data communication. Students combine these core concepts with courses in professional workplace communication, lean production systems, industrial material design and sustainability, and Canadian workplace safety to build the skills necessary to be successful in today’s ever-changing manufacturing environment.
