Important Information about this Program: Automation
Engineering Technology has been cancelled. No new students will
be admitted to first year for the Fall 2004 semester. Current
students will be given the opportunity to complete their program
in the 2004/2005 year through the complete offering of second
year courses. No courses will be offered following the Spring 2005
semester, and students requiring further courses to graduate
should speak to an education advisor or the program Chair to
determine how to complete graduation requirements from
Kwantlen University College.
