  1. Technology ForumApril 2008 School of Engineering and Information Technology

  2. Programs in Eng & IT • 1 year certificate • 2 year diploma • 3 year advanced diploma • 4 year degree Conestoga provides many opportunities for success! 96% Graduate Employment for Eng/IT Grads

  3. Technology Foundations Architecture Construction Engineering Civil and Environmental Engineering Electrical Engineering Electronics Engineering – Telecommunications Woodworking Mechanical Engineering Automated Manufacturing NC Technician Design and Analysis Robotics and Automation Computer Engineering Software Engineering Degree Programs Computer Programmer/Analyst Information Technology Support Service Co-op! Eng & IT Programs

  4. U Level Graduate Math Studies MAP 4 C or College Prep Math MCT4C or U Math Low MCT 4 C Engineering Technology Pathways Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! Bachelor of Applied Technology Degree Bridge Min 65% Engineering Technology Diploma Technology Foundations

  5. Admission Requirements • MCT4C minimum for almost all programs • Exceptions are Woodworking and IT programs • 10% bonus given to U level math courses in grade 11 and 12 (except MDM4U) • 10% bonus given to U level English courses in grade 11 and 12 • Applicants academically ranked based on math and English marks

  6. Why MCT4C? • MAP4C does not adequately prepare the students for engineering technology • College technology programs are rigorous and intensive • On average, students are more successful if they have advanced/academic math preparation

  7. Rigour of Eng/IT Programs • 22 – 25 hours of class per week • 6 – 8 courses per semester • 15 week semesters • weekly assignments in most courses • 2 – 3 tests per course or major projects

  8. University Stream: U, A, OAC College Stream: G, MCT4C Math Testing: any math Student Performance

  9. 2004 University HS Stream 47 % 3 % Other 31 % 19 % Math College HS Testing Stream High School Math Prep

  10. MAP4C Pathway • All applicants given the opportunity to write math assessment test • Alternate offers to Technology Foundations now given to students with MAP4C • Guaranteed entry into Engineering Technology program • Note: many students take 4 years to complete a 3 year tech diploma program

  11. NEW Technology Foundations • A pathway to success in engineering technology programs. • 1 year certificate program that guarantees admission into an engineering technology program. • Designed for students who do not meet the academic requirements for direct admission.

  12. Technology Foundations leads to: • Civil and Environmental-Civil Engineering • Architecture Construction Engineering • Mechanical Engineering • Electronics & Electrical Engineering • Computer Engineering • Software Engineering Co-op!
