Who it’s for
The Electrical Power and Industrial Control option is part of the specialty diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology.
Entry into this option is competitive and priority is given to students with sufficiently high academic standing after their first common year of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology program. Graduates of this option may also proceed to the full-time Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering degree program (competitive entry) or part-time Bachelor of Technology in Electronics degree program after completion.
What grads can do
As an Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology graduate with a specialization in electrical power and industrial control, you could be doing many things day to day, such as:
- design, program, and maintain industrial control systems
- work in the office in a design or project management role
- field testing, commissioning and troubleshooting
- technical sales and marketing as an applications-engineering technologist
- develop cutting edge prototypes for research and development
Potential employers include both structured, well-established firms, or fast-paced small businesses where you’ll encounter new technical problems every day:
- electrical utilities
- independent power producers
- consulting engineering firms
- electrical contractors
- manufacturing
- research and development centres
- government agencies
- electronic design firms

Direct entry FAQs
- When should I apply?
- What if I don’t receive credit for all courses in the preceding term?
- Can I appeal the assessment of equivalency?
- What will happen if I cannot complete all required courses before the term starts?
- When will I be accepted?
- When will I get my timetable?
- When can I buy my books?
It is recommended that you apply when you have met, or are registered in, all of the entrance requirements. If you are currently registered in a course(s), please indicate this on the self-assessment form and submit proof of registration with your application.
The program may suggest BCIT flexible learning (part-time studies) courses that need to be completed prior to term start. In some circumstances, the program may identify courses that can be taken concurrently. Most students are required to make up one or more courses.
You may appeal in writing. Be prepared to supply addition information or clarification to your original submission. You have 10 days to accept or appeal (in writing) the ‘Second Assessment’ that you receive by email.
All courses must be completed prior to term start unless the program has identified a course that can be taken concurrently or that can be deferred until a later term.
Once your application has been assessed and has been approved for direct entry, a seat must become available in the program you have selected. The Admissions department must wait until the current students obtain their final grades in either December, May, or August to determine how many seats will become available for direct entry applicants.
Print your timetable one day prior to class start by logging into my.bcit.ca and going to Student Self-Service. You must be registered in your courses in order to access this feature.
It is recommended that you wait until the first week of classes before buying textbooks. Your instructors will tell you which books to buy.

Program Details
In all of our technology diploma programs you will spend an average of 30 hours per week in lectures and labs, split approximately 50/50. This balanced approach gives you time to apply the theory in a practical lab environment. In addition, you should expect an additional 30 hours per week preparing for labs, completing assignments and studying. If you need to work while going to school, the majority of our courses are offered in both the September and January terms so that you can tailor your school workload to your other commitments.
We have 21 well equipped labs to support the practical aspect of your education. In almost every lab each student has their own individual work station.
In this program you will learn to use software and microprocessor technology in an electrical application, such as electrical power generation, and transmissions as well as industrial control. You will also learn to write software for microprocessors and programmable logic controllers. A comprehensive knowledge of the Canadian Electrical Code is developed.
Program length
Two years, full-time, beginning in September and January each year.
This program is designed to be completed over 2 years in 4 terms. However, BCIT recognizes that not all students will be successful taking a full courseload and will accommodate students by guiding them through a modified registration path once accepted into the program. A modified path will impact the program length and increase the overall cost of the program.
Accreditation
Students may apply for student membership with the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of British Columbia (ASTTBC). Graduates may apply to ASTTBC for registration as an Applied Science Technologist (AScT).
Program delivery
In person: This program is delivered on campus.
The Electrical Power and Industrial Control option has two intakes per year, in September and January.
Program location
Burnaby Campus
3700 Willingdon Avenue
Burnaby, BC
Continue your education
Graduates of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology (ECET) program may pursue the following degrees at BCIT:
- Bachelor of Technology in Electronics: This part-time degree program is designed for ECET diploma graduates who wish to pursue a degree while working full-time in the electrical, electronics, automation and telecommunications industries.
- Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering: This full-time degree program shares a common first year with the ECET diploma program.
ECET diploma graduates can also explore external bridging programs, which allow graduates to enter the third-year of engineering programs at the University of Victoria or Lakehead University. Alternatively, transfer credit to UBC and SFU degree programs is available on an individual basis.
Co-operative education
Co-operative education is an optional part of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology programs. Students who successfully complete a minimum of two co-op terms receive a co-operative education designation on their diploma.
During a co-op term, you will have a full-time paid position with an employer in the electronics industry for a period of 15 to 20 weeks. You must complete Level 2 of the program before taking a co-op term, and co-op terms may be taken consecutively.
The industrial experience you will gain in the co-op component of the program will give you an added advantage in securing a position after graduation. You are encouraged, but not required, to participate in co-operative education.

Graduate employment outcomes
The BCIT student outcomes report presents summary findings from the annual survey of former students administered by BC Stats one to two years after graduation. These reports combine the last three years of available results for the 2021-2023 BCIT Outcomes Surveys of 2020-2022 graduates and for Degree 2019-2021 graduates. The reports are organized into three-page summaries containing information on graduates’ labour market experiences and opinions regarding their education.
