Program Description:

The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering - Telecommunications and Network Engineering (B.Sc. EE- TNE) degree program provides students with the knowledge, skills, and competencies needed for a career in the telecommunications and networking industry. After completing the B.Sc. EE-TNE program, graduates will be able to design telecommunications devices, components, systems, equipment, and distribution centers. Graduates will also be able to specify production or installation methods, materials, quality and safety standards, and direct the production or installation of telecommunication and network equipment. Students gain an in-depth knowledge of developing, configuring, and implementing communications equipment through appropriate choice of hardware and software design.

In the third year of studies students engage in an in-field training experience. In their final year, students conduct an in-depth research study of a complex telecommunications and networking-based problem, design, or technological application. The consolidation of the skill set developed in the B.Sc. EE-TNE program through the completion of a capstone project and work placement prepares graduates for an exciting career in the telecommunication and networking industry.

Program Duration:
