JUSTIFICATION FOR THE PROGRAMME
The recent past has been characterized by economic liberalization leading to broadening and diversifying the demand for Telecommunication engineering graduates.
There is an upsurge in the private sector with increased investment in Telecommunications leading to creation of new jobs that
require specialized graduates.
In order to satisfy this demand, the Department of Electrical Engineering has revised its curricula to address this emerging issue
and therefore attract more students.
The curriculum provides sound theoretical approaches to the various Telecommunication and Electronics engineering disciplines
supplemented by hands?on laboratories and computer skills to apply the theoretical knowledge to practical engineering problems.
Additional practical training components training components such as Workshop Practice in the first year and Industrial Training in
the recess terms of the second and third years of study introduce students to actual field practice.
The program is conducted through coursework and examinations. At the fourth year of study, students are prepared to do
independent supervised study in the area of their choice. Students can enroll for the programme with the intention of achieving
the qualification of a Bachelor of Science in Telecommunication Engineering (BSC.TE).
OBJECTIVES AND EDUCATIONAL
The primary focus of this programme is to produce entrepreneurship?oriented graduates who are
capable of propping up new companies, out of the prototypes that they will have developed at the
undergraduate level. This demands that the final year projects should benchmark world class
standards, capable of leading to Telecommunication Engineering incubations.
Educational Objectives
The educational objectives of this programme are to:
(a) Produce graduates who are able to practice Telecommunication engineering to serve
Uganda and the regional industries, government agencies, or national and international
industries.
(b) Produce graduates with the necessary background and technical skills to work
professionally in one or more of the following areas: telecommunication hardware and
software design, computer network design, telecommunication system design and
integration in wire line, mobile and satellite systems.
(c) Prepare graduates for personal and professional success with awareness and commitment
to their ethical and social responsibilities, both as individuals and in team environments.
(d) Prepare graduates who are capable of entering and succeeding in an advanced degree
program in a field such as engineering, science, or business.
Program Outcomes
The outcomes for the Telecommunication engineering program are:
(a) To Understand ? to understand fundamentals of Telecommunication hardware and software, electronicsand software, electronics, and mathematicsand software, electronics, and mathematicsand software, electronics, and mathematics, and how these are used in Telecommunication
systems. An understanding that engineering knowledge should be applied in an ethically
responsible manner for the good of society.
