 Telecommunications
engineering
technologists apply
engineering expertise and knowledge to all aspects of
telecommunications, including computer, networking, radio, and cellular
systems. Telecommunications service providers and equipment
manufacturers are all employers of telecommunications engineering
technologists. Because this is a rapidly changing field, those
with degrees in telecommunications
engineering technology will need to keep current with advances in the
field to remain competitive in this area where they are responsible for
designing, implementing, and maintaining computer-networking systems of
all types.
 Preparation
Those interested in a
career in telecommunications engineering technology should consider reviewing engineering
technology programs that are
accredited by
ABET, Inc. If you choose to attend a program that is not ABET accredited, you should be sure that the university
is regionally accredited. Students take courses such as electronic devices and
circuits, data communications, computer science fundamentals,
fiber-optic communications, network simulation, wireless security, and
satellite communications. The following is a current list (10/2007) of all
universities offering accredited degree programs in telecommunications
engineering technology.
