Not that long ago, technology came in bulky casings that contained rigid boards. Electronics were big, heavy, and often fragile. Today, technology is smaller and more flexible. From health-monitoring wearables to compact consumer devices, the technology of the modern era is thinner and more adaptable than the technology of years ago.

The world is increasingly invested in sustainability and eco-friendly practices, and the electronics industry is no different. If you're an electronics technician, it's important to understand eco-conscious design principles, the impact of the Right to Repair movement, and how simulation-based training uniquely supports environmentally responsible maintenance and repair.

Choosing the right training program is a big decision. You want to know: Does this help people like me build skills, feel more confident, and move forward?

Our Electronics Certificate Program is designed for people who are ready to get hands-on, practical knowledge they can use — from design, installation, maintenance to troubleshoot complex electrical systems.  

The circular economy aims to reduce waste, support the planet’s health, and provide usable materials to those who can continue to use them. While many think of steps like donating home goods or recycling paper products, e-waste is one of the most important components to making a serious impact on the environment. To be effective, highly skilled professionals, including electronics technicians, are essential.

Smart devices have become critical to the day-to-day function of many Canadian consumers and businesses. From at-home smart devices that can tell you the weather to manufacturing industry sensors that communicate temperature in long-haul trucks, smart devices are changing the way we operate.

If you’re familiar with the world of electronics, you probably already know about electronic filters and their applications. They remove unwanted frequency components, boost the desired frequencies, or they do both. The difference between active & passive filters lies within their need for power supply, among a few other things. 

To get more insight into the differences between these two types of electronic filters, let’s compare them side by side. 

Keeping up with the technology changes in the manufacturing/industrial industry is important to stay relevant in your job/career. With the world changing so quickly, it’s always a good idea to stay in the loop and know what the current and future trends are, and take advantage of opportunities to grow. But how can one keep up with the industry?

Below are 4 ways to stay up to date:
