The BET Degree program prepares students to successfully meet the challenges and opportunities facing today’s technical graduates. This degree program combines theoretical principles with hands-on experience and technical courses related to electronics, instrumentation and computer control industry. Aspects unique to electrical engineering, analog/digital design, industrial instrumentation/control, microelectronics and wireless systems are emphasized.
Program Options
The BET 90 Credit Electronics and Controls and 120 Credit Advanced Electrical programs are available through different pathways:
Direct entry
Advanced standing Post Diploma

Post Diploma and Post Degree admissions will require a minimum of 50% of their BET degrees to be completed at CBU. Therefore, a maximum of 45-credits (15, one term courses) may be transferred from an appropriate program at an approved post-secondary institution to the 90-credit BET (Electronics & Controls) and a maximum of 60-credits (20, one term courses) may be transferred from an appropriate program at an approved post-secondary institution to the 120-credit BET (Advanced Electrical).
The BET (Electronics & Controls) degree is normally a three-year (six academic term) program. Students wishing to start their careers early may choose to graduate with the Electrical Engineering Technology (Instrumentation and Controls) Diploma after successfully completing terms one to four.
Please see Program Details for more on the structure of this degree. Please see Admission Requirements for information on entry into the program.
Note: The Bachelor of Engineering Technology degrees do not lead directly to a Professional Engineering designation.
