Training Students in Telecommunications in Order to Meet the Requirements of the Modern Telecommunication Environment

Abstract

The paper proposes a stream of courses in telecommunications that could fit in the academic curriculum of a typical 8-semester Electronic Engineering degree. By providing a sound and well-structured theoretical and technological background and by giving emphasis to digital techniques, broadband networks and market issues, the stream aims at preparing the students to meet the high and changing requirements of the digital, broadband and de-regulated telecom environment of today.
