Telecommunications
The interdisciplinary minor in telecommunications is designed to augment the student's major program with a package of courses that will prepare the graduate to obtain a position as a telecommunication/network professional and fill a societal need in one of the fastest growing areas of technology
The program is developed as a minor principally for three major programs: computer science; integrated science and technology; and computer information systems. However, the program is open to any undergraduate with an interest in telecommunications and some computer background.
The telecommunications minor will instill knowledge of the following:
- Telecommunication terminologies, standards, policies and procedures.
- Basics of data transmission, digital signal processes, and signaling hierarchies.
- Architectures, communications protocols, and components of LANs, WANs, and internetworks.
- The TCP/IP and ATM protocol suites.
- Switching, routing, and traffic management in inter-networked environments.
- Voice, video, and data transmission over IP and ATM.
- Application development for the Internet.
