Lambton is proud to train advanced level operators for petrochemical and various other industries with this Chemical Production & Power Engineering Technology program, which is unique to Ontario. Students train in Lambton’s Centre of Excellence for Process Manufacturing which contains many complex lab and pilot plant facilities. In-school training is reinforced though a unique co-op placement model that supports students going to employers year-round.
Students have the benefit of participatory projects that emphasize teamwork, communication, interpersonal and problem-solving skills. Upon graduation, students will be able to call upon these skills when analyzing operating problems in the plant environment. Graduates will complete their 4th Class operating engineering certification training and will possess certain engineering level skills as a plant operator.
In July 2003, Lambton College was approved by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority, to offer a nine-month practical time reduction for Operating Engineering to eligible candidates.
Note: O.A.C.E.T.T. recognizes this program as meeting all the academic requirements for certification in the Certified Engineering Technology (C.E.T.) category.COURSE SELECTION INFORMATION:
