Telecommunications technologies are shaping the way in which we access news and information relevant to our lives, communicate with family and friends, play computer games and drive the so-called information economy.
Telecommunications engineering is concerned with the technologies that underpin modern voice, multimedia and data communications. Telecommunications engineers are responsible for the design, construction, maintenance and evolution of systems from business data networks to global voice and data communications. Relevant technologies include: transmission systems such as optical fibre, 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.
The program develops an understanding of telecommunications systems encompassing both hardware and software needed by professional engineers in telecommunications systems. Emphasis is placed on underlying principles and techniques so that graduates will be able to learn and apply new technologies as they emerge in the future. The early years of the program build a scientific and engineering foundation of computing, electronics, physics and mathematics. The more specialised telecommunications engineering courses offered in the later years include telecommunications systems modelling, computer networks, voice telecommunications and emerging technologies including 3G video phones, high speed domestic broadband and network security. A major component of the final year of the course is a specialised telecommunications project. Students are required to complete 12 weeks of approved work experience at some time during their four years of study.
