Overview

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Telecommunications Engineering and Internet of Things

Telecommunications engineering deals with large-scale data networks, such as the Internet and other devices and systems that represent, store and transmit analog and digital information. 

The typical first-year provides sound fundamentals in mathematics, statistics, physics, chemistry, computing, engineering science and communication, mechanics, materials and fluids. 

Your degree includes a 12-week hands-on industry placement at the UoW

You may gain credit for relevant work experience, either in Australia or overseas, by participating in the Professional Options Program.

The lecturers encourage you to approach them and get involved in industry projects and learning opportunities so you get the most out of your university education.

Specialise in data, voice and video communications, transmission through wireless and wired media, predicting and modelling communication systems performance and detecting or correcting transmission errors.

The engineering students are trained through practical learning experiences, including:

  • Laboratory experiments
  • Problem-based learning
  • Computer simulations
  • Teamwork assignments
  • Industrial case studies
  • Project management
  • Site visits to the industry

The Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Telecommunications Engineering prepares you for roles as a telecommunications engineer.

This specialised field focuses on the transmission and management of information through channels like coaxial cables, optical fibres, or free space.

You will study data communications, control theory, digital signal processing and communications systems.
