The Computer Engineering Technology program is a three-year, full-time diploma delivered on campus at Saskatchewan Polytechnic's Moose Jaw campus. It combines five semesters of classroom study with three paid co-operative education work terms. Students learn both hardware and software aspects of computing through hands-on labs, lectures, and real-world projects.

You will study analog and digital circuits, printed circuit board design, microcontroller programming, network administration, and data transmission systems. A capstone project lets you develop an original design from idea to prototype. The program emphasizes practical skills, teamwork, and time management, with class hours from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and 30–40 hours of weekly homework outside class.

Admission requires Grade 12 with 60% in Pre-Calculus 30 or Math B30 and C30. Alternative admission is available through ACCUPLACER© scores. Applications open September 1 each year under the First Qualified/First Admitted process. The program accepts 24 students annually.
