About the program

Telecommunications Engineering involves the design, construction, installation, operation and maintenance of telecommunication systems, components or processes to meet desired needs while considering economic, environmental, social, ethical and sustainability constraints.

AUN’s program incorporates strong elements of electrical and electronics engineering. It allows you to address a wide range of applications, which require in depth knowledge of electronics, modern computer technologies, and software and information systems. Consequently, the program is designed to expose you to telecommunications systems encompassing both hardware and software needed by professional engineers in telecommunications systems.

The early introduction to scientific and engineering foundation of Computing, Electronics, Physics and Mathematics prepares the ground for introduction to the specialized telecommunications engineering courses including telecommunications systems modelling, computer networks, voice telecommunications and emerging technologies including 3G video phones, high speed domestic broadband and network security.

Relevant technologies include: complex electronic switching systems, transmission systems from copper wires to optical fiber, satellites, cellular networks, Internet Protocol networks and digital television; digital representation of audio, video and other multimedia; and the control, design and analysis of massive communications networks.
