British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT)

Part of the Electrical and Computing Engineering Technology program, the two-year diploma in Telecommunications and Networks offers students the option to complete paid co-operative education terms. Students may apply to continue on to complete the BCIT Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering and other advanced credentials. Building on the knowledge and skills gained in the first year of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Technology program, students learn the principles required to design, develop, manufacture, and test telecommunication systems and networks. The program covers land mobile radio systems, digital data transmission, fibre optic and microwave technology, satellite communications, radio frequency (RF) design, local and wide area networks (LANs and WANs), wireless networks, internet engineering technology, digital signal processing (DSP) techniques and the application of microcontrollers. Students will also complete a student-initiated or industry-sponsored project.
