Course Description
The Bachelor of Engineering in Telecommunication and Network Engineering / Bachelor of Commerce is a broad-based double degree program. Students develop a mastery of the basic engineering principles underlying electronic and telecommunications engineering as well as a comprehensive program in Commerce fundamentals. This program also offers electives that prepare the student to obtain both Cisco Systems and Microsoft Industry certifications. Combined with this, students will study commerce units, choosing between a major in Finance or Management.
Aims & Objectives
- Develop in students a broad mastery of the basic science and engineering principles underlying telecommunications and networking technologies, including the computing technologies (hardware and software), as well as the appropriate engineering methods and techniques to apply that knowledge;
- Develop students' communication skills so that they can present their ideas clearly by verbal, written and graphic means both within the engineering community and the community at large;
- Produce graduate engineering scientists with multi-disciplinary skills in engineering and science which integrate the fields of telecommunications and networking with that of business and commerce;
- Deliver a current and relevant course of study covering the principal areas of telecommunications engineering, technologies related to the Internet, software engineering, computer science and electronics;
- Integrate the formal five-year course of study with an optional one year period of industry based learning;
- Prepare graduates to undertake entry-level activities in general management, and business and enterprise;
- Enable graduates to evaluate the financial position of an organisation through the examination of financial statements and non-financial data;
- Enable graduates to be knowledgeable about the principles and practice of contemporary management.
