This program combines electronics and communications engineering, computer science and relevant management studies placing strong emphasis on communication systems, electronic circuits and systems, computers, automatic controls, information systems, micro-electronics, and signal processing.
Applications in this field are in biomedical, communications, industrial control, analytical instruments, image processing, consumer electronics, computer networks and automation. Such applications vary from digital, analog, micro-processor based, or very large scale integrated circuits (VLSI). Graduates will lead development and design of leading-edge information systems, particularly in the telecommunications area. As the development of new electronic, information and telecommunication equipment, such as Internet, computers and electronic controlled devices, become more in demand in the government and private sectors so has the employment opportunities for an information and telecommunications engineer are increasing.
