He study plan was prepared to achieve high quality communication engineering education and research that enable graduates for leadership and excellence in their profession. The acquired knowledge covers all fields of this specialization which include wired and wireless communication networks, computer communication networks, antennas, propagation of electromagnetic waves, transmission lines, microwave communications, communication electronics, signal processing, information theory and coding, radar systems, mobile systems, radio and TV broadcasting, and satellite communication systems.
With the rapid development and use of information and communication technologies, the BSc program in Communications Engineering was launched and the first group of students was enrolled on the first semester of the academic year 2012/2013. The program aims to have an active role in society via providing technology-related services, and to play a role in sustainable development. Our vision is to provide the Palestinian and regional markets with high qualified human resources, who have proper scientific and technical background in the different fields of communication engineering.
Our goal is to graduate:
- competent engineers capable of designing, implementing, installing, operating and maintaining wired and wireless communication systems.
- problem-solvers, innovators, and can handle the rapid pace of modern communication technology.
- engineers who can work effectively in professional environment, have the necessary communication and leadership skills, and adhere to standard codes of ethics;
- engineers who can pursue graduate studies and carry out research in advanced topics and specializations.
The ILO’s of the Communication Engineering program (CommE) adhere to the American Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). Thus, upon completion of this program, students will have :
- An ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering.
- An ability to design and conduct experiments, to analyze and interpret data.
- An ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs.
- An ability to function on multidisciplinary teams.
- An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems.
- An understanding of professional and ethical responsibility.
- An ability to communicate effectively.
- The broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context.
- A recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning.
- A knowledge of contemporary issues.
- An ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
The conditions announced by the Admission Department before each new academic year.
Communications engineering graduates work in several fields, including:
- Global and local cellular communications companies.
- Palestinian telecom companies.
- Internet provider companies such as Hadara, Mada, Zaytouna, Gemzo, and CoolU.
- Land-line and cellular telecommunications companies, in Palestine & neighboring countries.
- Network design, installation and extension.
- Radio and television broadcasting stations.
- University laboratories, study and research centers.
- Undertake postgraduate studies.
- Import, maintain & market communications systems.
- Various ministries, mainly the Ministry of Communications & Information Technology.
- Starting a special project in the field of communications engineering.
