Computer Engineering Technology

Les technologues en systèmes ordinés dessinent des schémas électroniques, construisent, mettent à l’essai et réparent des équipements programmables et des logiciels d’automatisation (robots, moniteurs médicaux, simulateurs de vol, ordinateurs pour la voiture, etc.). Ils programment des applications dans des microcircuits et conçoivent des projets à base de microprocesseurs. Dans le cadre de leurs fonctions, ils peuvent avoir à rédiger de la documentation technique, offrir du soutien technique ou superviser les procédés d’assemblage. C’est un emploi stimulant dans un domaine en constante évolution qui demande une personnalité analytique et logique ainsi que des aptitudes en mathématiques et en sciences. Le métier de technologue en systèmes ordinés convient aux personnes curieuses, minutieuses et persévérantes.
