Cambrian’s hi-tech labs and TSSA-accredited programs mobilize your engineering career!

Are you inquisitive about how things work? From solving complex problems with scientific principles and mathematical concepts to restoring our natural world, Cambrian offers a gateway to a broad spectrum of industries and high-demand technical careers.

At Cambrian, we’ve got a 2nd Class power plant training facility located right on campus, where you can get hands-on training in multiple power engineering programs for a lucrative career as a power engineer accredited by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA). And since we’re located in Sudbury, Ontario, the mining capital of Canada, our nationally accredited Mining Engineering Technician and Technology programs prepare you to work in mining operations anywhere in the world!

You can combine chemistry and engineering with the world of manufacturing to develop new and improved fuels or create the next generation of pharmaceuticals by taking our Chemical Engineering programs. Industries such as power generation, mining, forestry, construction, and manufacturing seek trained specialists to promote healthier and safer workplaces — our Workplace Safety and Prevention program has got you covered. And if you’re passionate about sustainability, our Environmental programs train you to monitor and protect the quality of our air, water, and soil.

Our Electrical Engineering programs offer the opportunity to use actual equipment used by industry and include an in-depth study of power electronics, electrical control systems, and instrumentation. Combine mechanical engineering and electronics with elements of robotics and telecommunications for a compelling career in the evolving field of mechatronics by exploring our Mechanical Engineering programs. No matter where your interest in engineering or the environment lies, Cambrian provides a solid foundation for your future.
