During the first two years, the students are introduced to the basic principles of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, including programming skills and hands on training in electronics and telecommunication laboratories. In this period, the students are also exposed to broad based pure science courses and a wide range of education courses, such as English, Philosophy and other liberal arts and social science courses.
The third year concentrates on broadening the fundamental knowledge in Electronics and Telecommunication systems with laboratory experience in advanced electronics and telecommunication systems. It potentially forms the basis for the student to become a competent engineer for the future. During the fourth year, students are encouraged to deepen their understanding in areas of particular interest and ability. Finally the students are required to complete a thesis in their area of specialization, preferably in collaboration with an industry partner to gain practical experience.

Short Description of General Education Courses
ENG 103 (Intermediate Composition): Continued work on analytic reading and on fluency and control of the writing process. Development of expressive, persuasive and referential writing with emphasis on planning, organization, cohesion and coherence. 3 credits.
ENG 105 (Advanced Composition): Continued work on analytic reading and on fluency and control of the writing process. Emphasis on sentence structure, organization, paragraphing, coherence and cohesion. Besides, the course is to develop the skills to communicate effectively as an engineer. The course focuses on enhancing an engineer’s ability in written and verbal communications, writing technical reports, and effective presentation of project proposals, and techniques of oral and visual communication with in-class practices. Prerequisite: ENG 103. 3 credits.
