Program Description

Advanced engineering program in electronics and wireless communications. Prepares engineers to design and develop modern communication systems, electronic devices, and wireless networks.

The program is suitable for students interested in dynamic industries, including aerospace, automotive, construction, consumer goods, defense, desalination, electronics, oil and gas, pharmaceuticals, power generation, satellite communication stations, and telecommunications.

Completing the requirements of the Electronics and Communications Engineering Program at AUC, our students will develop

  • An ability to identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics
  • An ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, safety, and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social, environmental, and economic factors
  • An ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences
  • An ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts
  • An ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives
  • An ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions
  • An ability to acquire and apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies

High school diploma or equivalent, acceptable grade average, English proficiency test, aptitude test according to specialization
