An operating engineer or process operator is responsible for controlling and monitoring the operation of industrial equipment and processes to ensure they run safely, efficiently, and effectively. This program at Lambton College has gained national recognition for its ability to train advanced level operators for various industrial sectors, most notably in the petrochemical and energy streams.
Students will study the core courses taught in the Chemical Production & Power Engineering Technology program and the principles underlying the complex technologies in today's processing industries.
The majority of the training takes place in the Centre of Excellence in Energy & Bio-Industrial Technologies
which houses complex lab and pilot plant facilities. The Centre duplicates a real-life manufacturing environment and the technologies developed can easily be scaled-up and transferred to an actual operating unit. The Centre offers technology labs and infrastructure to support learning and research in next-generation technologies in collaboration with industry.
Experiential learning is emphasized through the programs unique co-op model, which is designed to support the employment needs of industry year-round.
