The objective of the Electronic and Telecommunications Engineering program is to produce graduates who are ethical professionals. Following their graduation by three to six years, they are expected to use their Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering knowledge and soft skills to:

  • Graduate with excellent knowledge and competency in electronics and telecommunication Engineering.
  • Graduate with the ability to solve complex engineering problems and demonstrate innovation and critical thinking in engineering design for society development.
  • Graduate with humanistic values, moral values, and self-reliance and communication skills to contribute to the well-being for their societies and to meet the requirement of a dynamic environment.
  • Graduate with professional attributes with ability to embrace lifelong learning via advanced study, or professional membership to meet the present and future global needs.

Attainment of this degree prepares students and graduates to enter the professional practice with:

  • An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science and mathematics.
  • An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors.
  • An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences.
  • An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed decision, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions, in global, economic, environmental and societal contexts.
  • An ability to function on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives.
  • An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze, and data, and use judgment to draw conclusions.
  • An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed using appropriate learning strategies. (ABET, 2019)
