Program Description This program prepares graduates with degrees or diplomas in telecommunications, electronics or computer engineering or technology for work in emerging fields in the wireless telecommunications industry.
Students will enhance their undergraduate knowledge with practical skills that include use of industry standard tools (drivetest tools, propagation tools, spectrum analysers, network analysers, etc.), and the techniques required for success in the wireless industry. Students will broaden their familiarity with troubleshooting and configuration of local area and wide area networks (LANs and WANs) and networking topics relevant to telecom carriers including virtual private networks, quality of service, and others. Cutting edge topics in long term evolution (LTE) and 5th generation wireless networks, high bandwidth wireless (WiGig+) and concurrent MIMO systems, will ensure graduates will be in high demand. Additional topics will include spectrum utilization and associated network design, and IP based wireless systems, enterprise WiFi, WiMAX and Bluetooth. Further specialization focuses on intra-vehicular communication systems used in emerging auto designs and which operate such features as self-driving cars.
