Now that I am a graduate in Telecommunication Systems Engineering:
Where can I begin my career?
DESCRIPTION
Graduates in communication systems engineering are experts in transmitting information between different electronic devices. Information needs to be transformed in a user-friendly way such that users will be able to interact with the information in a meaningful way. Engineers from this degree programme will be able to help with this important task.
A good example is Apple's iPhone: a communication systems engineer is the person who not only knows all the communication protocols the iPhone uses but also designs the device's navigation tools and its telematic applications.
Would you like to be the one who designs the next generation of wireless communication systems? Do you imagine yourself working in companies that dedicate themselves to managing the communications on our planet? Would you like to understand how information is transmitted through ADSL? If so, this is your degree programme.
CONTRIBUTION TO SOCIETY
There is no doubt that we live in an information society. Within this society, communication and information technologies play a leading role, one which will certainly drive future technologies.
Graduates in communication systems engineering will be key players in this area. The way in which the large amounts of information we transmit is managed is currently of vital importance. The amount of information we transmit will steadily increase in the future, which means that engineers who are able to design, manage and improve communication systems will contribute greatly to society.
If you do a degree in communication systems, you could also develop a career in the area of telematic and home automation systems. The ability to control our homes through a telematic system is not a thing of the future but is on our doorstep today.
COMPANIES
There are many companies in the electronics and telecommunications sectors where you can develop your professional career.
Nationally, these companies include: TELEFONICA, VODAFONE, INDRA, IKUSI, IBERMÁTICA, IKOR, CAF, SEAT, and ACCIONA.
There are also a great many possibilities internationally, with companies such as SIEMENS, APPLE, NOKIA, BRITISH TELECOM, IBM, AUDI, TEXAS INSTRUMENTS, CISCO SYSTEMS, and SONY-ERICSSON, among many others.
Communication systems engineers are also in demand in R&D, consulting firms and engineering firms.
In addition, more and more industrial companies are improving their products by adding value through telecommunications devices. In other words, you will have the possibility of working for a wide range of companies.
