Power Engineering Technology - Accelerated in Lambton College

This accelerated program provides a fast-track training opportunity for students having the proper admission requirements. The program introduces the theory, knowledge and practical skills required to operate, maintain and manage steam and power equipment in industrial facilities. Throughout Canada, only certified Power (Operating) Engineers are permitted to operate, maintain and manage equipment such as boilers and refrigeration units.

Students enrolled in this program will train in Lambton College’s newly renovated Centre of Excellence in Energy & Bio-Industrial Technologies. The Centre offers state-of-practice technology laboratories and infrastructure to support learning and research in next-generation technologies in collaboration with industry.

The first two terms provides the academic curriculum needed to prepare for the TSSA 4th Class Operating Engineers 4A and 4B Certification exams. Students also receive nine months of steam time reduction towards the same certificate. Those who complete the third term in an approved co-op position will be credited with the final three months of practical steam time required for the 4th Class Certification.

With 4th Class certification received, students can begin obtaining the 11 months of 3rd Class steam time reduction offered in terms 4-6.

Students have the option to exit the program after Term 2 or after the co-op term. With a co-op and successful completion of the TSSA 4A and 4B exams these students will be 4th Class power engineers and will be awarded a Power Engineering Technician diploma. Students who leave after Term 2 without a co-op will have a Power Engineering Technician diploma, but will not have completed the requirements to be a 4th Class power engineer.
