The objective of this programme is that of producing
professional engineers who are both academically
prepared and practically trained to satisfy the
requirements of local industry especially in the field of electronic communications. Moreover these graduates will be suitably prepared to embark on careers or further their studies abroad.

Communications is one of the fastest moving
technological fields that require constant updating. This
course has been designed with that concept in mind
and therefore strives to give you a sufficient solid
foundation in the fundamental concepts so that you are
in a position to further upgrade your knowledge and skills.

This interdisciplinary field is practically used in every
aspect of modern life as exemplified by the advances in
computers and communications. The course will bring
you in contact with modern technologies.

The purpose of assessment is to ensure that effective learning of the content has taken place. For each unit delivered students will be assigned a mixture of home-based and time-constrained assignment in class. At the end of the course students will also present their thesis.

1. Develop hardware and software solutions in the field of communications engineering
2. Design and implement wired and wireless communications systems
3. Use specialised equipment for the analysis of digital and analogue signals present in communication systems
4. Contribute in the development of research projects in the field of communications engineering.
