Bachelor of Engineering in Communication Engineering
ObjectivesCommunications engineers work on communications systems and related distributed information systems. They are responsible for planning, analysis and design, implementation operation, testing, maintenance, and management of these systems. The Communications Engineering degree program will provide you with a broad foundation in basic mathematics, physical sciences, and the engineering sciences and technology. It includes communications theory and practice, design and analysis of telecommunications components, systems, software, applications, and regulatory and social issues. You’ll acquire a strong background in real-time computer systems and software engineering.
