Telecommunications is an integral part of modern society. This major allows recent graduates and people already in the workforce to deepen and/or broaden skills and knowledge in various areas with telecommunication engineering. It also allows candidates who do not have a telecommunication background to move into this growing area. There is an emphasis on the network, transport and application layers and the ability to analyse, design and manage massive scale and non-homogeneous complex inter-networks which simultaneously service the diverse needs of multiple classes of traffic.

Awarding of this major on an academic transcript also requires the completion of a graduate project in this broad discipline area.
