Specialized Program Competencies
In addition to the above-mentioned engineering-level competencies, graduates of
the Electronics and Communication Engineering program are expected to acquire
specialized competencies, as follows:
B1. Analyze and design control and electrical power systems, then select, model
and analyze electrical power systems applicable to the specific discipline by
applying the concepts of: generation, transmission and distribution of electrical
power systems.
B2. Design, model, analyze and synthesize an electrical / electronic / digital
/communication system or component for a specific application; and identify
the tools required to optimize this design.
B3. Design and implement: elements, modules, sub-systems or systems in
electrical/electronic/digital/communication engineering using technological
and professional tools, while considering the constraints of applying
inappropriate technology and the needs of commercial risk evaluation.
B4. Estimate and measure the performance of an
electrical/electronic/digital/communication system and circuit or equipment
under specific input excitation, and evaluate its suitability for a specific
application.
B5. Adopt suitable national/international standards, codes, and software tools to
design, build, operate, repair, inspect, and maintain electrical/electronic/digital
equipment, systems, and services.
