Telecommunications Engineering
Not all that long ago, people communicated via signal fires, flags, drums, messengers, even carrier pigeons. These days, telecommunications engineers provide far more effective means of communication.
Morse code telegraphy, followed later by radio, was probably the first device that used electricity for tele-communications. Now, thanks to telecommunications engineers, a single optical fibre the thickness of a human hair can carry half-a-million digital television channels.
Society relies on telecommunications engineering for breakthroughs in applications such as satellites, next-generation mobile phones, air-traffic control, the internet and much more.
What do telecommunications engineers do?
Typically, a telecommunications engineer will:
manage engineering teams
design telecommunications equipment including modems, switches, routers and radio links
develop real-time computer systems, including imbedded computer systems and their software
build and test prototypes of new equipment including integrated circuit components
predict telecommunication system performance
optimise the performance of telecommunications systems
provide technical support to marketing or customer service staff and telecommunications technicians
train technical and engineering staff once new systems have been installed
supervise special research projects on next generation telecommunication systems.
