Electronics and Communications Engineering - BSc
Program Overview
In order to obtain a degree in electronics and communications engineering, this requires a solid core of foundation courses in physics, mathematics, computer science, and general engineering, which is also essential for life-long learning. Concentration courses in electronics and communications engineering (that integrate theory and laboratory wherever possible) cover electromagnetics, circuits, electronics, digital design, and communications.
Courses in electric machinery, classical control, computer systems, the capstone senior thesis, and industrial internship are also required. State-of-the-art electronics engineering elective courses provide seniors and advanced undergraduates the opportunity to develop thrust in advanced electronics, communication systems, and computers.
This program accepts high school students with a science/mathematics background. Undeclared students may also be accepted to the program when they finish the criteria courses set by the department. Admission to the program is supervised by the department and depends on available places and student performance records.
