Programme Overview
B.Tech Telecommunication Engineering is a four (4) year programme designed to equip students with the requisite knowledge and skills in Telecommunication and expose them to industry based training so as to use their managerial and Technical Skills to fill the middle level manpower requirement in the telecommunication industries. Students participate in a balanced programme of instruction covering the basic principles of the design and application of Telecommunication systems. The programme includes coverage in breadth and depth of basic science, engineering, and abstract concepts of information handling. Students specialize in and are prepared for careers in the design, analysis and use of fault diagnosis, maintenance and systems. The programme is structured to ensure that graduates have a clear understanding of the design and the applications of telecommunication systems, as well as the ability to apply this knowledge throughout their professional careers. In particular, within a few years after graduation, graduates in B. Tech in Telecommunication Engineering should be able to:
Work in industry or government producing or evaluating components of Telecommunication systems.
Work in teams to design, implement, and/or maintain components of Telecommunication systems.
Stay current through professional conferences, certificate programmes, post-baccalaureate degree programmes, or other professional educational activities. Employers of the graduates of this programme include; MTN, Vodafone, Tigo, Glo, Banks, Academic Institutions, Huawei, Ericson, Government communication agencies.
