Communications Engineering is a new program, growing out of Computer Systems Engineering and Electrical Engineering, that is concerned with the reliable, effective, and economical generation, distribution and reception of information. Communications Engineers will be responsible for the planning, analysis and design, implementation, operation, testing, maintenance and management of communication systems and distributed information systems. Such engineers will play an essential role in the creation, deployment and operation of the information systems that modern society depends on. They will be employed as the architects and implementers of the communications facilities that will meet the information needs of all manner of commercial, institutional and industrial users; and be active in the development of new generations of integrated voice, data and image telecommunication systems and universal personal communications.
The Communications Engineering degree provides an undergraduate engineering education that has a broad foundation in basic mathematics, physical science and the engineering sciences and technology. Students will receive a comprehensive education ranging from communications theory and practice to distributed information systems, including radio links, switching and networks and regulatory and social issues, with a strong background in real-time computer systems and software engineering.
Graduates of the new program will be knowledgeable concerning common carrier practices, network and switching theory, and standards. They will have had the opportunity to study wire, radio and optical transmission systems, as well as the design and synthesis of voice, data and image networks. They will study data network protocols, traffic analysis and transmission line theory in a single program along with broadcasting and television and advanced applications of integrated electronics and digital signal processing.
The First year of the curriculum is the standard core program of the Carleton University engineering program. In Second year students take the foundation courses in Computer Systems Engineering and Electrical Engineering, as well as an introductory course in Communication Theory. In Third year, students take courses in Electronics, Digital Signal Processing, Linear Systems Theory, Electromagnetic Theory, Probability, Object-Oriented Programming, Computer Communications, Communications Theory and Communications Software. In Fourth Year, students enhance their coverage of communications with courses in Digital Communications, Distributed Network Processing, Telecommunications Engineering, and Communication Systems Analysis and Design.
