Telecommunications

Curriculum for undergraduate studies

The curriculum for undergraduate studies in telecommunication includes subjects like: antenna theory, digital communication, information theory and coding, microwaves, DSP and its architecture, microcontroller applications, analog communication and microprocessors .The necessary skills for this course would include analytical, mathematical, conceptual and practical skills.

Subjects under telecommunication

This could include: Analog and Digital Communications; Switching and Automata Theory; Computer Systems and Network; Satellite Transmission; Probability and Statistics; Fiber-optic communications; Legal and Regulatory Issues in Telecommunications; Telecommunications Network Management; C Language Programming; Telecommunications; Engineering Ethics; Mathematics for Engineers; and Fundamentals of Mechanics.

Analog and digital communications

Investigates the different types of communication systems and techniques such as Fourier analysis, random processes, AM and FM systems and digital communication systems like MPSK, MQAM and FSK.

Switching and Automata theory

Switching and Automata Theory includes areas in discrete mathematics and the theory of switching circuits for large digital systems.

Computer systems and network

The student will gain a deep understanding of the computer systems that support medium to large network environments.

Satellite transmission

This subject is theory-based and introduces the student to the working of satellite communication and the terminology used in the discipline.

Probability and statistics

Explores the modern concepts and methods of statistics, including topics such as varied, data analysis, probability, estimation and hypothesis testing.

Fiber-optic communications

Fiber-optic communications; investigates the chief features of digital and analog fiber-optic communication systems, including modules such as sources and receivers, optical fibers and their transmission features and optical fiber systems

Legal and regulatory issues in telecommunications

Explores the various laws regulating the structure of telecommunication through different platforms such as mobiles, digital television, broadband networks, commercial and pay TV broadcasting and so on.

Telecommunications network management

Technical knowledge of LANs, WANs and MANs, design, implement and manage telecommunication systems using voice and data are the areas covered in this subject.

C Language programming

This module introduces the student to the C programming language that is considered to be the pillar of the UNIX operating system and lingua Franca of embedded processors and micro-controllers.

Engineering ethics

The student would get a thorough grounding in the theory and the practice of engineering ethics from a multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural perspective. Theory includes ethics and philosophy of engineering.

Mathematics for engineers

It would look at topics such as the fundamentals, partial differentiation, first order ordinary differential equations, linear ordinary differential equations of higher order, Laplace Transforms and multiple integrations.

Fundamentals of mechanics

Fundamentals of Mechanics: provides the basics of mechanics, including motions and the forces that produces the motions

A Bachelor Thesis of about 5,000 words, preceded by the project proposal would have to be submitted at the end of the course.
