Information Engineering
Telecommunication engineers are in high demand due to wireless communication access and the expectation to have instant communication across the globe. The demand doesn’t stop globally either. We also have the need to communicate with objects and astronauts in space. Advances in communication technology are made by telecommunication engineers who keep up with the latest advances and continually improve on the methods we use to communicate.
To become a telecommunication engineer, you would most likely need a bachelor’s degree in engineering to get your foot in the door. There are many engineering programs out there and some colleges only offer electrical engineering where others have a focus on communications or telecommunications. Either would benefit you to become a telecommunication engineer.
Telecommunications engineering is a combination of electrical engineering and computer science. It covers the design, installation and maintenance of networks and equipment, allowing for the interconnectivity of devices and people. It's one of the world's most rapidly developing industries and this course has been designed to meet the growing demand for skilled graduates.
A telecom engineer typically is given complete responsibility of constructing a telecommunication system or device. This entails that the engineer drafts the plan, design and also configure the hardware and software requirements to achieve the desired telecommunication system/device.
