Telecommunications Engineering
Telecommunications engineers design, construct, maintain and upgrade telecommunications
and data networks responsible for transferring and managing information electronically. The work of these engineers
underpins modern communications including the Internet, mobile telephones, telephony
and broadband networks, and international communications by satellite and optical
fibre. Our graduates receive an education based in part on radio and optical communications
technologies, and multimedia. Employment opportunities are available in telecommunications,
Internet and related areas such as broadcasting and remote sensing. Telecommunications
engineers also have expertise in the areas of network planning, distributed systems
and databases, resource management, modelling and simulation, electronic and computer
systems.
The Telecommunications Engineering academic program covers the structure of
computer systems, telecommunication systems and networks, and software systems.
This requires a strong background in mathematics as well as extensive practice
in the design and operation of both hardware and software systems. The academic
program also develops communication skills and familiarity with project management
and quality control techniques. In their final year students undertake courses
from the general areas of computer engineering, communications and electronics.
