Bachelor of Science Honours in Engineering – Electronics & Communication Engineering
B.Sc. (Hons) in Electronics and Communication Engineering aims to produce renowned engineers to play a leading role in design and development of modern electronic and telecommunication systems. It gives the required theoretical and practical know-how to embark on careers in rapidly growing areas of modern Data networking, Mobile communications, Television and radio broadcasting, Satellite communication, Electronic and instrumentation engineering and Control Systems engineering.
Bachelor of Electronics and Communication Engineering programme emphasises in providing technical skills to design, develop, install, test and maintain electronic and communication systems.
The curriculum includes core units in Electronics principles and systems; Microprocessors and interfacing; Communication engineering principles and systems; Microwave communication systems and applications; Data communication; Control systems engineering; Engineering mathematics; Management for engineers; Industrial training; Undergraduate project. The final year undergraduate project directs students to apply the theoretical knowledge into practice and will also lead to develop their technical skills, analytical and design skills and interpersonal skills.
