العربية Communication and Information Engineering
Telecommunication and Informatics Engineering is an engineering field that integrates the following core domains: Electronics Engineering, Communications Engineering, Network Engineering, and Information Technology. It focuses on the design, development, and implementation of networks, protocols, devices, software, and applications for use in communication systems.
Telecommunications and Information Technology Engineering has witnessed rapid and significant advancements over recent decades, to the extent that it is now difficult to imagine the world without communication and information technology systems. In response to this evolution, the University of Science and Technology (UST) launched the Telecommunications Engineering program within the Department of Electronic Engineering as early as the year 2000. Since its establishment, the program has received continuous attention and development.
The development of the program depends on the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) Criteria and the National Academic Reference Standards (NARS)
To prepare engineers in the Communication and Informatics Engineering discipline, equipped with the foundations of knowledge and scientific skills, according to accredited standards, ethical and technical requirements. They can meet the needs of the labor market locally and regionally, through distinct academic staff and education curriculums, and through the scientific research that elevate the educational process and serve the community.
